Hi blueyez,
Welcome to our group. There is lots of support here and yes a lot of us have gone through or are going through the wc battle. I highly recommend that you get a wc attorney. Get some background info about them. See if they have ever handled an RSD case before and if they have any knowledge about RSD. That is important. Once you have an wc Attorney you will not have to pay another penny for anything until it is all settled. The attorney can also get any money that you have had to spend reimbursed for you. You almost always have to have legal representation or they will fight you on everything. You will need to do a little financial planning for the near future because once wc decides that you are at maximum medical improvement (MMI) They will stop all benefits and try to settle with you which means you will have no income at all. Get as much help and support from family and friends as you can and don't even bother with anyone who is trying to give you grief. This is a devastating life change and you need support not hassles.
Take your time and look around here a bit. There is lots of information and if you don't see and answers to any questions you might have then please post the question and we will try to find an answer for you.
My name is Tami62 in the group and I am a caregiver to my husband who has RSD. I welcome you to invite any family or friends who are in your support network to this group. It will help them to understand what RSD is and how it will affect your life and theres.
I will talk to you again
Tami
