Question What about RSI pains?

If you refuse to do a test without a good reason they count it against you....at least that is what they told me when I did mine. I tried almost everything and if I could not do it I would tell them after I tried. Don't do anything that will worsen your condition but try what they want.....does that make sense?
.... What if most of the pain comes later? I have RSIs and I flare up as a result of doing everyday things.... If I lay low (read: do nothing) for a couple of days, then do something like type for 5 minutes straight or sweep the floor or get books out of my backpack then I usually will hurt an hour or two afterward...
Does anyone have experience with this in a QME or Functional Eval? Its hard to prove these kinds of limitations in a objective medical meeting if you aren't in pain right?? What to do
