could it be a physiatrist?

[A physiatrist must first earn a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) degree. In the US, postgraduate training in physical medicine and rehabilitation consists of 1 year of internship in medicine followed by 3 years of residency training in a program recognized by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR).2 Board certification in physical medicine and rehabilitation requires the successful completion of the 4 years of postgraduate training followed by successful completion of a written examination and a separate oral examination (taken 1 year after completion of residency). Specialized training is available in pediatric rehabilitation, electromyography, pain medicine, and spinal cord injury medicine that allows the practitioner to be formally recognized by accreditation for a higher level of skills.]

Many wc attys will know of good drs that will work best for the claim.

I also learned -
do NOT talk about your claim or injury to anyone at work. Not even your friends as they might slip up and repeat it to the wrong person - and you know how stories can get changed around after a few repeats...

mums the word because it might get repeated to the HR or whoever is in charge of the company claims dept.
Same goes for any complaints about the employer, boss etc.
They can make it tougher for you or maybe easier - it all depends on how they feel about your record & attitude - they can work with you on things or not.

Blow off any steam about wc or work at home to trusted friends/family - or online we can understand how it is...
