Hi folks, I was previously diagnosed with tuberculosis and
treated subsequently for 6 months before enlistment. While I am
cured, I suffer from pleuritic pain whenever I exert myself e.g
running. I went to a lung specialist regarding this and after an
xray and ct scan, I was told that this chest pain will be permenant
as my lung lining is damaged due to tb.
However, the mo told me they will not accept pain as a reason to
act on my case because pain is subjective even though the mo is
aware the pain is permenent for life and its affecting my training.
Does anyone have a similar experience or advice for me?
