*Big Hugs* What a rough time!! You mentioning you have good ROM....reminded me of what what idiotic IME doc I got sent to said. He told me I didn't have rsd because my joints weren't stiff. ROFLMAO OMG!!! I had been through 2 rounds of pt at that point and had gained back the rom I lost. DUH!! If I saw him now, well let's just say I could almost be board my joints are so stiff! LOLOLOL I still have decent rom. Not all rsd'ers lost rom in the affected part either, but have stiffness especially in the morning or on bad pain days.

I don't have any answers about the doc. Ones like him don't listen and refuse to open their tiny little minds to learn something cause they think they already know it all. I suppose you can't change docs huh? If you're wc, then I know full well how it goes. I was there one time myself. Why would the lawyer have to reopen your case? Did you settle out already? Or is this some other kind of case and not wc?

Either way as if you don't have enough to deal with, the job loss really sucks.

Hugs,

Karen
