Those of you who are here because of workplace accidents know just how big of a win this is. I was DX with CRPS by my pain doctor who I was seeing on my private insurance because I hurt for other reasons. My CRPS was triggered by a foot surgery that WC approved and paid for. The DX was backed up by a podiatrist and neurologist within 3 months of onset. Both those doctors were seen under my workman's comp claim yet WC never added the condition.
It's been 2.5 years of back and forth with lawyers, a claim manager and dozens of doctor's appt. Finally, someone at WC read through 100+ pages of my chart from my pain doctor and confirmed I met the Budapest Criteria. This is such a huge weight off my shoulders. I was so terrified that it would never be added. It's such a life altering condition that it needs to be documented.
