He is not a neurologist and poked, prodded, and yanked on my body especially my bad foot/leg...like he didn't care and wanted to see me in pain. I nearly passed out and told him after that "no more touching me." It was horrible. He statement to me was "When I was 8 years old my father drove over my foot and I am fine." I said to him "Well, God bless you that you didn't have to suffer as I do." The nerve of this man was amazing to me. This guy specialized in cancer patients. Well, the wc nurse thought he was "thorough" and saw nothing wrong with his exam. She scheduled me to go back and I flat out told her no way! I told her I would never even take my cat to see this man and would have a panic attack if I ever saw the building he works in (and I don't get them either). He said I didn't have RSD but should go to a gym for six weeks and then I would be fine. Yeah right. If it was that easy I would have done it 5 years ago haha! Just watch out for this person as these docs are not looking out for you and get bonus money each month the faster they send you back. I don't know how they sleep at night and take peace in knowing we all have to pass through the gates of heaven and I know they will not be admitted for sure.
Best of luck to you.
