So I went to see pain Management Dc. last Wednesday after working 3/4 of the day PT was canceled that day (long story) But as expected my hands were swollen nice bright red splotch on my wrist original burn area my legs from the knees down swollen burning toes looking like cherry tomatoes, my shoulder fine fine a little achy nothing bad. The doc comes in I go over everything with him all the symptoms and issues. He then tells me he has no idea why I am having these other issues and it might be due to the meds Gabapintin that he put me on and that I should start weaning off them and if my "Issues" increase then resume prior dosage and follow up with my GP for further care. So I flat out asked him about CRPS/RSD and was told he treats a number of patients with That but I was referred to only to ensure the nerve block and or surgery did not cause the issue and that with the normal emg they had proved that and he could not comment on the other issues that I Might be having. No further follow-up with his office is needed.

Do these two docs know each other, perhaps?

I've noticed local docs tend not to talk badly about one another, presumably because they are watching each other's backs. Sometimes it takes going to another, larger, city to get an honest and objective opinion (sadly).

LOL yes they do my shoulder surgeon sent me to the Pain Doc in his group and use another doc in there group for the EMG So yes It is the good ole boy network just trying to cover there butts, I will be calling my GP on Monday to make an appt with her.

GEE WHIZ! sorry to hear you went through these appointments to not get an answer.

My ortho would admit it either, then I found out he had signed a contract to work at the hospital I injured myself at. Needless to say, I went out of the area. I now drive 2 hours to be seen. (ok I don't drive, my husband takes me)

From reading a lot the post on here and other places I have not seen the worst of it yet in terms of Dr's not believing me or know what where doing. My GP is really good and the one that first bumped up my Gabapintin but I haven't gone back to her yet. But am calling her to make an appt. hopefully next week.

May I recommend a pm outside of this group. I know you are in a tight situation, but you should be able to see a dr. of your choice.

Yes that is in the plan but holding off until after the 14th when I see the surgeon again.
