Default PT denied by WC

I am not sure what to do. I was recently denied continued Aqua therapy by WC. Unfortunately, Aqua PT is the only PT that has helped me re-gain my basic mobility. In a matter of months with Aqua PT I have made substantial progress, although I still cannot walk great lengths unassisted or walk down stairs properly.

I hoped to continue Aqua PT for at least another month or two, with a goal to regain my stamina and my ability to hop, skip, jump, run, walk downstairs normally.

This is a big blow. In order not to lose ground I tried walking as an exercise with two canes, but it has caused me horrible pain in my RSD foot and ankle.
I have requested that PT file an appeal, but I am not sure this is something they routinely do.

I made an appt. with my PM doctor, but found out that even this may not be approved by WC.

I have no clue what happens next.
