When I was training for the April 2016 A&S I developed a minor case of plantar fasciitis. I'm working on completing my NSW/ Dive physical and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this injury? Will it require a waiver? If it does require a waiver what's the process like for that? I'm doing my physical through the VA, so there's no way of avoiding putting it down. And for reference, no I am not claiming any disability on it. This will be my third NSW physical I've completed so I'm fairly familiar with the process.
I've went through the entire Navy Manmed and all it says is current plantar fasciitis is disqualifying. It doesn't give any specific time lines like it does for other injuries (such as stress fractures). I haven't had any symptoms of it since July so it's completely cleared up.
If anyone has any experience with this it'd be helpful to hear. I've got another shot at A&S and I don't want to throw it away because I wasted too much time sitting around for a medical waiver. I appreciate any constructive answers. Really just wondering if it's something considered disqualifying.
