My problem is # 1. I cannot find the first Dr. in 96 and even if I found him I would not be able to get any records. This brings me to my other problem, I went to the second Dr. and he does not have records as they only keep them for 7 years. I have not been to the Dr. on a regular basis because the there is nothing that can be done except surgery. I have been denied and also denied on the appeal. Does anybody have any answers and id there anything I can do at this point?
