Hi everyone,
It is comforting to know that others are going through the WC shuffle. I don't mean comforting in the typical sense of the word..I mean that I don't feel so alone in the WC quagmire..

At some point I know my case will have to come to an end, but I don't understand how it can when RSD'ers are never really 'permanent and stationary' in their disability. That is a term used in California when eveything has been done medically for the "patient" and their disability is "defined."

As we know our dis-order is unpredictable and, therefore, how will we ever know that we are "stationary"? Philosphically, I know that everything changes, and I suppose so will the RSD !!!

My WC experience has been a mixed bag...they did approve the electic lift for my car and a mobility scooter.. (I had been told those items would never be approved!!, but they were!) I fought like the dickens!!
They are still approving injections and neurontin..and I've had 6 lumbar blocks..My pain management doc missed the spot on two of them...that's why I need to see an anesthesiologist!!

I'm trying to get approval to see an anesthesiologist and look into bier blocks for my foot/leg, and infusions, epidurals, etc. I'm sure I'm going to have a memorable time trying to get that approved
I am still fighting for continued use of the aqua therapy pool and footgear (shoes and/or orthotics) Seven months later and I'm still wearing flip-flops with socks to work!!!!! Long story... (the flip flops have the fabric piece in between the big toe and the rest of the toes and it hurts!!
I'm also fighting for chiropractic and acupunture..
So, Sandy, Pete, Stressedout and kathy D, I'm thinkin' about all of you and praying! that you get some positive results!!

I've stayed up too late again... Feet and legs are burning...an innovative way to save on the heating bill....
Thinking of all of you
love,
hope4thebest xoxoxoxo
