I went through the same thing. IME docs that WC sends you too will usually either say you are faking the pain or exaggerating it...it's what they do. Very sad...but it's the reality of it. The fact that you have 3 docs who have diagnosed you with it is a very good thing though. And the WC judges know how the IME docs work as well...so it's unlikely that they will favor the opinion of the WC doc over 3 other docs.

Your attorney is right that WC is trying to just make you desperate. They want you to either take a settlement (for way less than you deserve) or even get so frustrated that you just say forget it all together. I've seen so many people do just that and end up with nothing because they just couldn't take the stress, pain, lack of treatment, etc that WC was piling on them. That's why they do it.

Just hang in there and don't let them bully you or push you into doing something you know you shouldn't. If they want a trial...fine. But if they try to stop providing treatment you need to get your lawyer in there for a hearing ASAP so the judge can order them to pay for/approve treatment. And if WC continues to blatantly not approve treatments and such without good reason, the judge can impose lots of fines and stuff on them. They will push it to the edge to see what they can get away with...but they will buckle in the end.

Take care and (as hard as it is) try not to stress out too much about it. YOU need to focus on your health (both physical and mental) and let the lawyers deal with the WC stuff.
