Preliminary disability rating

I found out the proposed rating I will get from the army and VA. 10% on both........... WTF?!
A fucking spinal injury to where I am in constant pain which is also pinching a nerve which makes my left leg feel like it is in constant pain and all they suggest I get is 10%?! With multiple re-injuries in the line of duty and a combat deployment while injured that I highly protested and I only get 10%. This is what I get after ten years in the military. Can someone pull the knife out of my back instead of wiggling it around?
I am going to JAG tomorrow to see what I can do. I'm sure that nothing can be done with the army since they use range of motion anyway. The VA is not even tracking my sciatic nerve pain. I will bug my PA to get me an appointment with another doctor so that more tests can be done and hopefully I submit it to the VA after I am out and raise my percentage.
To anyone thinking about joining the military, please consider all other options. You don't want to get caught up in this nonsense where you will be fighting pointless wars for people that don't even want you there in the first place. If you do go in, make sure that whenever you're hurt you go to sick call and complain about it. If you get put on a profile, never let anyone force you to break it. My whole time in the army wasn't all that bad, but these last few years have had me regretting my recent enlistment.
More as it comes in.
