Back injury problem

[HOHOHO!]

What is your current vocation & when your perm pes status was endorsed ?
The correct people to ask would be CPC/S1.

Endorsed as in my medical board or?

Sorry to dig up this thread again.

I ask my pc numerous, pc tell me ask oc about my revocation or change of role.
I finally get to see my OC and ask him, OC tell me battalion HQ is not doing anything. And he tell me I should make use of my remaining time useful in this company.
Ya by being useful, he mention i should focus on my physio, do light PT and back to the main body to chiong again. E.g people wear ilbv with hard plate. I jus wear ilbv
Theres a reason why i am C9L9 excuse heavy load and RMJ. How am i suspose to be like last time, i got injured during training and treated like "pikachu" for 5 months.. Nua too long also sian lor....

I really dont want spending my rest of the ns life just doing saikang and doing meaningless job. At least being a clerk or storeman still serve a purpose.

How can i approach to the CPC or cmpb? I dont think my battalion S1 branch is going to help me. Any place i go still need a sergeant accompany me and they will not bring me too as they will think is mafan. As my OC would know if i approach S1 and he will find it mafan to entertain me too. Any advice will be appreciated.

To be honest, lets just assume you don't have to do light PT etc, and the Sai kang you do is appropriate for your excuse, they can technically not post you anywhere and just make you do the Sai kang and meaningless job that is appropriate for your PES and excuse

it took me about 3 months or more to get revocated if i remember correctly. also from armour battalion and same problem as you. maybe you can see your mp about this but be prepared to get fked by your superiors, though it could accelerate your revocation process.

always insist to your superiors that you cannot carry heavy loads or do strenuous exercise, tell them they are responsible if your injury worsen. if they still insist, go inform your mo, call saf hotline, write to chief army MO, etc. you are already given the valid excuses and pes status, your superiors should not be forcing you to do such things. don't be afraid of your superiors with regards to such issues. ns is only 2 years, your body is for life. they have no rights to force you into doing things that will further aggravate your injuries when you have the valid official excuses.

this was how i got thru this difficult period in army

for nsf, parent call nshotline might do the trick?
going mp might look more extreme.
or just wayang get parent call co then call ns hotline to report this problem.

I suffered a sharp pain on my lower back on last year December. Followed by occasionally numb and weak on my right leg when prolonged standing and walking.

Appointment on this year Jan, just got my MRI scan last week and gotten back my result today.

I will just list the main one

Report:
Small posterior disc protrusion noted at ?4/5 level, which indents upon the thecal sac ( Se 7/5 ), but does not cause significant spinal canal, lateral recess or neural exit foraminal narrowing.

There is no paravertebral mass.

Comments:
Small posterior disc protrusion at L4/5 level, indenting upon the thecal sac, but not causing significant spinal canal, lateral recess or neural exit foraminal narrowing.

Anyone can tell me whether is this slip disc or not??

I am in a combat unit right now.

I told the doctor i have difficulty prolong walking and climbing stairs.

Although I was given 3 months excused RMJ and heavy load. When comes to outfield activity, I still have to carry store items which is making my condition worsen.
The physician told me is not life threatening. Hence not downgrading me and refer me to a Spine Surgeon for another appointment in another 3 weeks.

It's been 3 months and I can only sleep one side in camp, back pain when sitting, walk awkwardly during some occasions and was asked to eat painkillers everyday.
Physiotherapy on every 2 weeks which i find is not helping....

Any advice? To private hospital or further waiting?

Geez! I think it would be best to have a 2nd opinion/check with another orthopaedic doctor. Please check ardmore orthopaedic clinic, my peers say that they're one of the best in town. Hope your condition be better soon.
