Default Rsd/crps

Hello my name is Sherri. I went to my doc yesterday to have a form filled out for disability (a waiver of payment for insurance form). I have been on SSDB for 14 years. Only to be told by my doc he could not fill it out as he is NOT CERTIFIED. I explained he had done them for past years. To say the least I was dumbfounded. He had been seeing me since 1994. Another doc in the practice did the Bi-lateral DeQuervains releases in 1993and then I was put under his care as he was the upper extremities expert. I also had Right-hand CTS releases in 1994 by a Neurosurgeon, had nerve blocks for RSD by a Pain Mgmt. Specialist and came out with partial paralysis of the right side. I never went back to him. and later told I had pinched ulnar nerves, too. He has told me over the years he would not operate on them as it would exascerbate the RSD/CRPS, then told me to keep seeing my chiropractor every 8 weeks to manage many other symptoms. Can someone advise why he said he is not certified. He's been my treating orthopaedic for years. Also, can someone advise of an RSD specialist in Central NJ. I don't know what to do if I need surgery because he is the one I would have wanted to do it.
