I was/am in a similar situation as yourself. Broke my arm in college decided to have a plate put in to fix the break rather than take a chance with just a cast. No big deal arm works great and have zero issues with it. MEPS gave me a PDQ and upon digging more and more I found out I should have had an orthopedic evaluation done by the military first. Then taken those findings with me to MEPS to give to the Doctor there that gives you your evaluation. Instead I went in the wrong direction by the recruiter and have according to him a PDQ. Apparently they last 10 years and by the time mine expires I'll be too old for flight school. From reading your post I don't know how you got the PDQ without even going to MEPS. AFAIK they only way to get the PDQ is from the Army Surgeon General as explained to me. Talk to your recruiter about some kind of evaluation that can be done and take that report with you to MEPS. If you really are fine you shouldn't have an issue, but I can be totally way off base here though because I'm just explaining it to you as I was told by recruiters.
