Highlanderatheart. I had a RUQ injury at work in 2012 that resulted in surgery and then CRPS. I agree that the most important thing to do is to get a lawyer that specializes in WC. Interview a few different lawyers and make sure your lawyer has handled CRPS cases before.

WC complicates everything. I have nothing good to say about the process, but I am happy to answer questions/provide guidance. Each state has their own WC laws which makes things even more difficult.

Mlb3815,

I see you're from Boston. Have you seen Dr. Roberto Feliz in Hyde Park? He's an anesthesiologist/pain management doctor. He lectures all over about CRPS and treatments. A significant portion of his patients have CRPS, and he is passionate about treating CRPS. I have never had another doctor know so much about CRPS and be constantly on top of new literature. I would highly recommend seeing him for a consult even if you do not wish to change doctors. He may able to offer you some treatment options that you haven't tried yet.

Good luck,
Gigi

My pain management specialist has told me my memory and cognitive issues has nothing to do with CRPS but these issues did not develop until after my post surgery CRPS. I feel like I’m always in a fog. He also said my blurry vision is unrelated. I got a new prescription and everything is still blurry. Please help.
