Hey painman! Sorry that you have to deal with such stupidity, but I think we all have during our RSD journey. I had one idiot send me for that triple phase bone scan then tell me that it was normal, no RSD. He put in my chart that I cried when he told me I didn't have RSD and I was looking for someone to operate on my hand....what the??? I was upset because he couldn't tell me what was wrong and I specifically told him that I did not want surgery, which is why I went for his opinion (2 previous drs wanted to operate and they didn't know what was wrong). This happened in 2010, a year after I injured my hand and 19 years after I was first diagnosed with it in my face. I had the symptoms and finally got with the right dr, but it was too late for treatments to help me and spread had already begun!
I hope you don't have more issues with WC as I am sure it is difficult enough.
Wishing you the best,
Nanc
