Has anyone had any experience with applying for benefits when ETSing (or possibly being med boarded) for something that is based on a congenital problem?

I injured my back a couple years ago and have had constant lower back pain to the point where sometimes I have problems putting on my boots and a significantly reduced range of motion. I was just recently X-rayed again and told I have very mild scoliosis (13 degrees) and reduced thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis (my lower back is too straight and doesn't have the inward curve). I've done physical therapy to no effect and am being referred to pain management. I've never had a problem until I joined the Army and did something to cause it to start hurting constantly. Any idea what I can expect?
