Hey guys
I just got the results back from my medical and have been made PMU due to “chronic back pain” I had several years ago.
Basically I had back pain when I was growing up between ages 11-14, before I had even hit puberty. The back pain was just strain injury from bad posture and generally growing up. I had several X-rays taken with the last being in 2011 and they all came up clear with the doctors just diagnosing it as mechanical back pain. I went for therapy to help me correct my posture and since 2011 I have had no back problem since.
Capita has classed it as an episode of chronic back pain. My argument is that it happened when I was still delevoping and growing up, and that I been clear ever since I was 14, I’m now 21 and do heavy lifting (deadlifts etc) at the gym very often and other sports that put strain on my back.
Do you guys think it would be worth appealing this? I have already started to keep a record diary of exercises and workouts I do for my back and I am looking into a private examination of my back to prove that the back pain was only an issue when growing and I am now fine.
Thanks
