<p>I have a question about the possible disqualifications from DODMERB. I have a slight musculo-skeletal abnormaility. My left pectoral girdle is out of position a little bit. I’ve been to a chiropractor to see what he thought of it and he said there was nothing that he could do about it. I also had my doctor look at it (I made sure he didn’t diagnose anything due to the availability of medical records to the review board) and he said that the anatomical head of my humerous has slipped out of the glendoid fossa (socket) a little bit. </p>
<p>It’s never kept me from doing anything such as any physical activity or sports (i’m a competitive diver, it’s never bothered me for that) and it’s never been painful. There’s just a little bit of a decrease in the range of motion when I circumduct my left arm. It’s only out of angle when my arm is behind me (if that makes any sense). Even when my arms are at my side, it is visible that my shoulder’s aren’t semetrical (One clavacle is definitely more pronounced than the other, but you usually have to be looking specifically for it).</p>
<p>I’m wondering if it’s something that would cause a problem later down the road with getting accepted or if I should look into getting it fixed surgically. If I go the surgical path, i’m figuring that I’ll need lots of paperwork verifying that i’m normal.</p>
<p>Has anyone had any experience with this or have any information that would help me?</p>
