Thanks for the morale booster and congratulations. I applied with no lawyer help and was denied in December on my first try.
I was dx 9 months ago with RSD in upper and lower limb after sympathetic blocks helped the burning, sweating and sensitivity. Since then those issues have not returned (yeah!) but I still have chronic back pain. My lumbar MRI now shows additional bulges and a tear that were not there a year ago. The steroid injections I've gotten have helped immensely. My pain dr said the injections last 3-6 months. I can sit, stand and walk, although not all day, so I really question if I'm disabled in their eyes.
