Default Defense IME giving me a hard time

Hi Everyone.

I recently had my IME from both my attorney's doctor and one from the defense. Our doctor gave me a permancy (sp?) rating at 50% left leg and 10% lower back.

Defense doc gave me only 3-5% left leg and 0% lower back. my attorney is very troubled by this, as most ratings are usually only about 10% different. She told me that the defense doc does agree that I have RSD, but doesn't think it should be rated any higher. He also stated that PT won't help me anymore.

I know that our doc used the 5th edition while defense doc used the 6th.

Do any of you have any knowledge/advise on this? The rating was done in Delaware. Our hearing is scheduled for early August. fmichael.....I know you have vast knowledge on this.

Thanks in advance.

Kim
