Default Appealing w/dx change

I'm appealing an initial denial and the appeal will go next to the reconsideration stage.

My regular pain manager dx me w/RSD Upper extremity, RSD Lower extremity, Lumbosacral spondylosis, chronic pain syndrome and neuralgia. I initially filed for these conditions in addition to a few mental ones in July.

The pain manager moved away. My new pain manager (still under the same pain center) took an updated MRI and after seeing my back worsen over the last year dx me just w/Lumbosacral spondylosis, chronic pain syndrome and neuralgia - no RSD. I didn't have a chance to talk to her about it since the info was on my office visit receipt, after I saw her. My appeal is due before I see her.

Do I need to address the RSD in my appeal?
Thanks.
