June 14, 20232 yr Hi All, I am currently working a waiver for a herniated disc in my low back. I had a discectomy just over 3 months ago, and was under the impression I had demonstrated the requisite stability noted in the waiver guide. I just talked with one of the flight doctors who is holding up my waiver as they are unsure as to when exactly my symptoms/back issue was stable. My previous flight doctor (who has separated) believed it was once the discectomy was complete the stability could start assuming I did not regress. This new flight doctor is unsure as to when stability will start and is holding up my waiver until she hears back from folks at ACS. Does anyone have any experience with when stability would start in this instance? Thanks for any help!
July 1, 20241 yr Hey, went dnif in 38s (FC2) and same question popped up. As far as I know it’s x amount of months from when you no longer had pain or needed treatment. FYSA I got a fully unrestricted ejection seat waiver while in UPT with a massive herniated disc..then I faiped. Good luck!
