It is a roller coaster ride;however, you should feel free to contact your doc and share that you are still having intense pain and your doc hopefully will address your pain issues.
Hang in there, you have a great support system here on NeuroTalk.

Thanks Dew,
The Dr prescribed a cream for my hand that had alot of things in it he said would help the burn but workers comp won't pay for it. The Ultram is 50 mg every 6 hours and it helps but very little. I guess I should call, maybe he'll increase it. I feel a little better today, can only cry so much. Guess the taking charge and fighting is kicking in. My hand isn't as swollen or purple right now but by tonight it will be...gets worse by the end of the day. Is that typical? It still goes numb and cramps. I just can't get past the Dr saying it's "mild", doesn't feel mild.
