From my experience and knowledge for Military Mixed Gas, Saturation and commercial deep sea divers its imperative to have long bone x-rays prior to becoming a saturation, Mixed Gas or commercial diver and if suffer the bends Doppler tests for the blood flow should be done. I am only the 2nd US Navy deep sea diver ever diagnosed with this rare and very disabling disease. Again, I cannot express how disabling this disease is.
From the beginning of the diagnosis till present day the prognosis isn't good. It generally is a bilateral disease, and the symptoms are difficult to deal with. Even if this type of bends is treated and Doppler tests are not done, the condition worsens. It can also be a delayed condition meaning, it may take six months till three years for the condition to show up. My symptoms took 2 years and six months to show up after my last deep dives.
