Long story short, I’ve been dealing with the same back injury since June of 2020 and have had my profile extended every month. My pain management doctor just extended it 90 days causing me to be dropped from ALC for the 4th time. I have to attend ALC prior to December which is when I can be boarded for E7.
What do I need to do? I know the events of the ACFT that I can take and am able to do the mandatory events.

Most locations have a policy that you have to exhaust pain management and physical therapy prior to being placed on a permanent profile. Tell your PCM you're ready for a P2 and you no longer want any more temp profiles. Have the same conversation with pain management as well

Pain management extended my profile for 90 days. I did physical therapy for 4 months. I will talk to new PCM when I get to Arizona

I would really be cautious of this. When she go so many days on profile you will trigger a medical review and potentially a med board. In my last unit they were very active and would recommend Med boards very quickly to separate people.

SP5 Jim Curry - We were soldiers once, young and proud. And we still are and I'm 68 Jim and I can do the same. Even though I'm headed to the spine enter tomorrow for pain. Im fused from C2-T10 but still soldier on!

SP5 Jim Curry - If you can avoid, do it. I have limited range of motion, cannot look up at the stars or finish a can of soda. Its nto good but in my case it was a better option than being paralysed.
