I'm so sorry and yes...I think MOST people of the non-RSD world think this way. Work comp will think that way because they latch on to any excuse possible to deny treatment. Even if it says anywhere in your records at all that you MIGHT have RSD they jump on that like, see...even the doctor is not sure. Oh...it sucks.

But hopefully this nurse or whoever is not a reflection of what your doctors think. I am amazed at how even good doctors can get stupid when it comes to RSD. And I understand to a degree that it's NOT a simple thing. We're all different, there's no conclusive test to prove or disprove RSD, it's a clinical diagnosis, etc. But why is THAT fact so hard for them to wrap their heads around sometimes? I guess they can feel almost as helpless as us at times when they run out of things to do for us.

I hope you get some help soon...I know things are terrible for you right now. Take care and good luck...you can vent any time here. We're here to listen and support.
