Do you have a WC lawyer yet? Try to get the very best one in your area - ask neighbors, relatives, friends for referrals. Look at the history of WC court cases and see if there are any attorneys that seem to consistently win. DON'T go by just the ads in your phonebook.
You also need to get a really good doctor on board that will provide your attorney with the documentation needed on your husband's behalf that he can take to court.
I could never fight WC alone. They are truly evil. And the WC system in each state has been set up by lawyers, for lawyers, IMHO. The legal fees that are incurred by both sides are paid by the insurance company (or at least they are in RI). So find a good lawyer who knows the system and let him handle things for you.
I'm really sorry about the edema and ulcers. I've heard of many people that have had the same symptoms with RSD. Have you checked out the RSDSA.org website? I sincerely hope that your husband gets the help he needs soon.
The best of luck to you both, XOXO Sandy

Also if others are having the problems, what are you doing for it? So far, they just keep wrapping his legs, and on the days between his appointments, I have to wrap them because thee is so much seepage that his bandages are wet every day.
Thanks! and soft hugs to all!  |
