Boogieboarder79 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hello everyone, I have just found out that me and my wife are going to have a medical for our PR application, I saw the medical form and now I'm starting to worry that I could fail it. MY PMH: 2002 left knee pain due to sports injury resolved with physio, 2006 low back pain diagnosed with a disc bulge only treatment was physio, this resolved and have had no problems since. 2009-migraines and tremor diagnosed due to stress at the time which resolved. 2012-2013 stomach pain resolved (eating rubbish food was the cause) 2013- Inguinal hernia being repaired next week. I am healthy now and I am not taking any meds. I was never diagnosed with any conditions apart from the bulging disc. Even thou it doesn't cause me any problems Im still worried that I might not pass the medical because of this. If anybody can help, i would be very grateful :biggrin: Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeGirl Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It won't be an issue. If you have a specialist who can write you a letter stating what you said above - healthy now, no meds for any of your previous issues - so much the better. What they're looking for are medical conditions that could cause you to have problems down the road, and could potentially cost the system $35,000 or more over 5 years. They're not going to fail you for completely resolved diagnoses like these, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm not an expert but based on your health problems and what mine were and still are you will pass with flying colours. Believe me if they granted me a visa you will be absolutely fine :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I wouldn't worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Do these kind of things delay the medical being passed significantly? Do you always need a letter from a consultant or do they take your word for it? For example I have mild asthma - never hospitalised or anything or even under a consultant. Haven't even had an inhaler in a long time. Will it mean a drawn out process when I tell them about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am asthmatic and have inhalers and that was a very minor thing. You'll just give them the info as part of your medical history I reckon. You won't need anything else. I took along each of my inhalers to show they were prescribed to me was all. As in with the pharmacy sticker stuck to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeGirl Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The specialist letters are more for potentially expensive conditions... as snifter said, asthma barely even registers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
