It take a good PM dr who is knowledgeable about rsd and some trial and error on what meds and procedures like PT and nerveblocks will help manage your rsd pain best. I try to educate myself as much as I can on rsd too. As for your insurance I am unable to give advice because I never had to deal with WC. I am sorry again for your pain and difficulty getting your meds and hope that you can find the right dr to help you get the meds that they prescribe for you. Sending prayers your way that you will find some relief soon. Hugs.
Yes Neurontin is amazing, first of all, but it doesn't get all my pain either. That is why I have pain patches on top of the Neurontin.

Hang in there!
