Hi Dew,

You may not have an IME for the pain issues. They never ordered one for me.

I wasn't asked to do a psych one either, but I did have my own psych eval and one through WC. Let's be honest.....some docs document our pain seemingly out of proportion to the original injury and imply it's "all in your head" or attribute it to being a hypochondriac, malingerer ,or depression causng the pain instead of being a result of the pain. SS could be trying to clear up something like that.
