Help Plz, some encouragement and wisdom

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is having as good a day as possible. As some of you may or may not know, I am STILL waiting for my doc to place the referral for pain management. She was suppose to have done it Aug. 7th. I have called and left message after message after message, and nothing. I was told that if i don't hear back from her by Monday afternoon to call back and ask to talk to the NCOIC (non-commissioned officier in charge). The past few days the pain has been getting worse and am now experiencing "hot spots" in my right thigh (it's my left leg that's got RSD). When i was Dxed, i was only given Calcium and Vit D. The Tramadol (50mg) does nothing. I only find some relief from the klonopin that i still have for my anxiety, and it's an old PX. I start my fall semester tomorrow so i'm excited, but nervous at the sametime. If i were to go to ER or urgent care, the army docs there would only give me 800mg motrin and then tell me to follow up w/ my doctor...that is what the did w/ my knee when i went there and couldn't walk on the freakin' thing...crutches, motrin, and go see your doc.
I need some encouragement and wisdom on how to handle the call that i know i'm gonna have to make tomorrow to the NCOIC. I mean, what do i say other than "where the hell is my referral?" I don't want to come off as a *****, but i don't want to be a push-over either. Any advice on how to deal with this would be so great
Hope all the best to everyone and thanks in advance!
