Hey everyone,
Pretty new to the forum... already looked around and tried to find relevant info. Has anyone dealt with retained hardware in their ankle before? I am currently gathering medical paperwork for an injury I had in 2009. Long story short, I had no business playing football (but I tried to play football) and broke my tibia. I currently have 2 screws where the fracture occurred and have had no issues since. My recruiter is "concerned" with the problem and said he is not fully confident I will be qualified for SNA because of it. I am trying to submit for the fall board (have not even gone to MEPS yet).
If you guys have any advice that would be amazing. I have a letter from the doc back in '09 saying I am cleared to full activity... I am having issues locating physical therapy records though. Are PT records vital to get cleared? Will I have to go through a waiver process? If so, how long will it delay the process?
Thanks in advance!
