I am so sorry that you have to go through all of this. WC is a nightmare...and only makes the whole situation with RSD even MORE of a nightmare than it is all by itself. Stay strong and keep fighting for good medical care. In the world of WC and all the legal stuff, you are the one who needs to keep the focus on getting the medical care you need above all other things. Proper treatment is your only hope to getting back the function and relief from the pain.
My dad gave me some great advice that has really helped me through some of my most difficult times, and that is to not worry about the things that are out of your control and stay focused on the things you can. True...it's easier said than done...but if you can do it, it helps a lot to keep you focused on what is important. You can't control what the doctors say/do, you can't control what WC does, you can't control what the outcome is in court. That doesn't mean that you ignore any of these things or stop fighting...but when something is out of your control you can't let it eat you up inside...just refocus on what you CAN do about it and then move on.
And I agree with Lit Love...don't say anything that you wouldn't want to come back at you in court with WC. Even something you say in anger could be used against you. It may be paranoid but...well...it happens.
That said...this is an amazing community or wonderful, supportive people who know what you are going through and who can help answer questions or give advice based on their own experiences. We all suffer from this monster. Even if you just need to vent about what you are going through and just need to get things off your chest (and don't want to burden your loved ones with it)...we're here for you.
Good luck to you with all those appointments. I hope you are able to get the treatment you need to help you.
