Also, this sounds a lot like a similar situation with Allen where a vascular injury led to nerve trauma, consequently, CRPS.
Well I think the way my situation was handled was due to it being covered under Workers Compensation. they were awful...for example, when the DVT was discovered in my leg at the ER, the ER doctor wanted to admit me, but had to call the doctor's office I was being treated by, and the next thing I knew I was on my way home. and there I sat, for FOUR DAYS, before they sent me to a vascular surgeon. Then, when the vascular surgeon prescribed the blood thinners, WC took three days to approve the medication simply because of the cost of the meds. So in all, SEVEN days went by from initial diagnosis to beginning treatment.

What is this that you speak of with Allen? Fill me in please.
