both specialist(govt hospital) & MO r a MUZ,specialist wil gv his professional diagnostic,bt it's stil up to the MO to recomm a medical board review.it wud b good if u can gt MO for a specialist referral,u might hv to pester ur camp's MO for awhile

Re: heel injury and what is the procedure to down pes?
 

110kg and pesB ? what is your bmi? over a certain limit of BMI, can warrant a pesC due to obesity.

Can you please explain you heel injury? how did it happen? was it after enlistment? how is it affecting you?
If recovery is an option , lowest is a B2L3 if with minimum/negligible side effect/pain.


Please get a referral to a specialist from a government hospital (fully covered by 11B), as some MO might be sceptical about private doctors. Do request a MRI if nerves/ligaments come into question.

best case is that the specialist recommends a downpes. if MRI report suggests anything out of the norm, MO will refer to his "secret pink book" and see which PES is suitable for you.

If you dont have any chaokeng history, or frequent visitor to the Medical Centre,
Add a bit of acting ... sure C9L9.

it is after my nsf time. this injury can be heal but take times...and its on and off due to my weight...cannot run else in pain read more on plantar fasciities...this is the problem i face now..bmi over 37

Re: heel injury and what is the procedure to down pes?
 

need letter from specialist..
usually the 1st step would be excuse lower limb/ippt for a period of time

after that they will ask u back to "renew" yr excuse and this period of time u have to continue yr physio/whatever the specialist recommend u

this will ding dong abit until they submit yr case up for medical board review
with a recommendation by the specialist the case is usually quite strong for a down pes

but u have to make sure yr excuse period doesnt laspe - meaning no window of which u have no excuse from ippt otherwise another headache

Re: heel injury and what is the procedure to down pes?
 

So why u want to downgrade?

Re: heel injury and what is the procedure to down pes?
 

my weight is 1 issue, ippt is another, dont think i can go for ippt every year with injury on and off right?

Re: heel injury and what is the procedure to down pes?
 

plantar fasciities I believe it a bit difficult to downgrade.

for my case I have high arch feet, my GE private specialist wrote a strong worded letter recommend me for downgrade and excuse boot.
went for medical board but downgrade was rejected by medical board sgh specialist.
spent some money go for a mri if you really want downgrade and ask yr specialist to write a strong recommendation for downgrade

Re: heel injury and what is the procedure to down pes?
 

what is yr weight? pes? i gt ask MO last year he say this can be cure so he never give me anything. even if cant down pes i think he should at least give me perm excuse for ippt right? over 110kg is no joke...and now having trouble to lose weight

Re: heel injury and what is the procedure to down pes?
 

56kg then and pes b. i find it no point talk to my camp MO.
Most MO will tell you it ok. unless you keep reporting sick till yr file is thick thick, then they might sent u for specialist review.

i got 6 mth excuse from my mo using my specialist recommendation letter while pending for my medical board. i pretty lucky i got post out under holding list after i got my long term excuse.

Re: heel injury and what is the procedure to down pes?
