Lisa and Kim , Wow I am sorry to hear of all the problems you (and everyone) have had with W/C and docs. I too am W/C with a self insured employer and I have indeed been very fortunate with my care . I am most thankful for my pain mgmt. doc. who was the one to diagnose me with RSD . I imagine if I had gotten a doctor not familiar with RSD my dealings may have been much different . Take care !
