I was deoloyed to iraq in april 03 and came back in march 04. Befroe going I was in good physical condition. I never had any heath concerns or conditions. Since I have been back I have had mostly bone problems. Sress fratures in both legs and deteration of the knees, I have blew out my rotator cup doing things that that I have always done before with no problem and I now have what doctors describe as a bone sist in my jaw. I just turned 24 in april does this seem right? I am just wondering if there is any one else with, or that knows some one with bone/skeletal problems that has been deployed to iraq? I am also trying to find out if any one knows the affects of inhaling smoke from buring crude oil. Or raw oil? I also have had an unexplained skin problem on one forarm that doesnt spread and comes and goes, if any one know or has info on any of these things I would appreciate it.

Yes, exposure to oil fumes is bad, but you really may want to look into your exposure to depleted uranium. There is an entire movement about this
Joyce Riley was a military nurse(Captain, USAF), and after Gulf War 1 she founded gulfwarvets.com
Depleted uranium is all over Iraq, and was used as a tank killing shell.
It sounds like you really need to contact Joyce, because you are textbook of what she has been describing.
Addendum: Petroleum products cannot be ruled out for your symptoms..Petroleum production and refining areas have extremely high percentages of medical problems, and that is without heavy sour crude openly burning. North of New Orleans, in the refining area there, was known as Cancer Alley. Most refining areas are beginning to have serious, and unusual medical conditions in a significant portion of the community. But I'd still contact Joyce Riley.

The biggest health problem I've noticed with most ex soldiers is just 'letting themselves go' when leaving the service. They just seemed to sit around watching T.V. and drinking beer and generally just taking 'the relaxed lifestyle' to the next level. I knew one Guy who was in bad shape after the first Gulf War, but he just drank a lot of booze, smoked a lot of cigarettes and sat in front of a playstation for hours everyday.
