At the Appeals level, you have to prove the judge made a legal error in your case. The situation you just named is a HUGE one. The AJL is NOT a doctor.....it's not up to him to say RSD is subjective. He can say your level of pain might be subjective, but the dx was made by 3 doctors....not you.
Did you have a lawyer ?
Was there a voc rehab evaluator there ? He's supposed to say what jobs you can do given your limitations, not the judge. Are your medical records thorough about listing your limitations and functional ability ?
