if you do have to see your new doc I would say there isnt much you as an individual can do to change that (an attorney mat be able to grind the wheels to a halt, then I would go to the new one and then demand (your right at least in colorado) for a list of acceptable docs. take that list to your original doc and ask him if he knows if each of them is either an aggressive authority in RSD who helps with meds, or oe f those no meds for you dummies. your current doc should no about the bad ones because other patients have come to him. in colorado you are allowed to see any 2nd opinion you want as long as you dont make them pay for the visit. i did this and she wrote up a letter about what she thought i would require in order to continue to maintain my current quality of life or i would decline and my cost of care because i would spend much more time in the hospital.
i am not sure this will help it is just what happened in my case
