EXTRA-EVENING FOR THE VETERAN OF THE VETERAN SHARE OF THE DAY
Flat feet VA disability issues are more prevalent than most people think. Plantar fasciitis symptoms are some of the top orthopedic complaints among Veterans. According to WebMD, Plantar fasciitis symptoms are defined as “…a painful condition caused by inflammation of the bands of tissue that connect your heel to your toes.”
The thick, fibrous band that moves the digits of your foot, called the fascia, can become inflamed, causing swelling and pain on the bottom of the foot and sometimes even into the toes.
Some Veterans may experience plantar fasciitis symptoms in both feet simultaneously or just one foot at a time. If the disability occurs in both feet, there is a bilateral factor, which entails a higher VA rating.

Just had shoe inserts installed from the VA yesterday. My right foot is twisted and I believe being crooked is causing problems in my left hip. Hope they work. My foot was like this forever, but causing problems now. I think it happened while in 1st Cavalry jungle school in Nam. We had to go off a repelling tower and Im scared of heights. I went down the tower like a rock. Sitting on the side of a Huey didn't bother me at all. Probably adrenaline.
