Injured at AIT

I'm currently at FSH for 68W. I've been injured since Basic, but I can tell that both of my knees have deeper, structural injuries. I haven't had any imaging done, but at this point, I'm thinking of going to sick call and pushing for it.

In the case that my injuries are severe and require intense PT or even surgery, am I allowed to request con leave or REFRAD? As a National Guardsman, will receiving a REFRAD be easier than for my Active Duty folks? My only concern is being stuck here as a medical holdover for months. If I will be, I will try pushing through it but if I can get a con leave or REFRAD, I would feel more comfortable going to sick call and pushing for imaging…

Thank you all.
