The ratings for the unfitting lumbar and migraine conditions are addressed below;the associated Category II back pain condition will, by its nature, be subsumed in the Board’s recommendation for the overall lumbar spine condition. The last STR entry from July 2004 (7 months prior to separation) documented “full” ROM and there are no entries that suggest significant ROM limitation. The commander’s non-medical assessment did not mention headache, recording overall work loss for medical...
