Post Body

I served 23 years. 8 years active duty. 15 guard/reserve. Always had sore knees from running and work (long hours standing on concrete).

Retired 3 years ago. I need new knees. I never went to medical or reported to unit medical knee pain. Started going to my doctor shortly before I retired from NG and had arthritis diagnosis.

I’m convinced that all the years of running, manual labor military job, and countless hours on feet were a contributing factor.

Would this qualify for a disability?

Any advice or input?
