Hi , I feel very sorry for the trouble you are having with your WC people. I had a similar situation with a lawyer during a deposition, I carried out a law suit over my inquiry, and he also insisted that I dx myself and found all my information about RSD on the internet. He kept asking the same question just in different ways. When you are dealing with these type of people who are trying to look good for there clients I have found out you have to act just like them. Don't let them push you around , or get you upset that's what they want. My attorney had warned me that that was the only thing they could really fight in my case was my self dx as he put it, my case was pretty cut and dry. And yes I did win. But the other side put me through hell. I also agree with the other's who responded. If you have private insurance try and go to the best doctor in your area. For some reason attorneys,WC people act differently when the doctors are well known and have great reputations. I also armed myself with some of the best doctors including one who is well known in RSD. I can't tell you how much that helped my case. I know it is so hard to fight when you don't feel well. Keep the faith. I hope you feel better and the fight gets easier.
Best to you,
Gabbycakes

WRONG!!! From all the info I have ever seen about RSD it can still happen. The doctor put in my records there is a possiblity of deQuervain's tenosynovitis. I looked that up. I don't have pain when using my thumb and fore finger in the spot that they say ppl have it in with that problem. I have it directly in my thumb and shoots. Not saying that I don't ever have pain in that area but it isn't very often. My pain is at the area I got hurt and shoots through out my arm. After the appointment the nurse says the doctor is right there is no possible way of it happening from that type of injury. I told her you can get it from a normal shot, she rolled her eyes at me. I'm done with doctors they need to buy a clue. OH and this doctor that I'm seeing now called the previous doctor (bone specialist) he is telling this doctor that I don't have RSD. He also is stating that I was the one who looked up RSD and diagnosed myself. WRONG! He told me to look it up and diagnosed me. My husband was there with me on that appointment.
