I really truly do not know how it compares with other modern countries.

My wife did talk to the one administering the FCE test and stated she doesn't think this test should be a gauge for those with RSD. WC cases it's primarily for. The other strange thing is on the doctor's prescription it says "EMC on right arm". This is the spot of my wife's injury where RSD first developed and then spread. The administrator thinks this is the wrong test for her but will administer the test anyway. She also said the test does not gauge pain.
