Sincere welcome I pretty much echo what everyone else shared here.
Mine is not workman's comp issue but the other aspects of your ordeal are far too familiar. I'm so sorry you have to experience this. I have found that it is so hard for those with out this disease to fully understand. That is only part of the reason this group is so great.
So many other diseases have cures or at least specific treatments - I feel that we need the medical community to recognize RSD/CRPS better.
Anyway the support here is great.
