Do you have a good work comp atty?
With work comp and complicated conditions/injuries like RSD and others, you almost need to have a very good atty.


Don't just pick one of the the yellow pages, do some searches and ask about who has good results.

Do you need to prove the RSD was from the injury?
If so you really need some big name docs and atty..it is just not well known enough as to how it happens.

Is your PCP listed as your treating physician on the comp paperwork?
If so they should have the power to write restrictions or keep you off work.

At least in my state that's how is was 10 yrs ago..

My doc wrote restrictions/ off work notes and I took or faxed them to my employer.

The IME dr as usual, found no injury and even suggested malingering.. They are usually on the side of the work comp ins co , because that is who pays them..
Luckily my employer had all my very good reviews so they knew that was not true at all. I got injured by working too hard and too fast..stupid me..
