Unfortunately, not much is known about reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and why it develops in some people who sustain a serious wrist or ankle injury. Even the course of the condition is not predictable, including or where it might migrate to in the rest of the body. What is known though, is that it is very serious and difficult to treat.
After handling all types of workers' comp cases as a Denver wrist or ankle injury attorney and former workers' comp judge, Steven H. Gurwin understands what to look for when clients come to see him after work-related injuries result in a wrist or ankle injury. He can help you seek out treatment soon after the injury occurs, since he knows the sooner you are diagnosed with either of these conditions, the more likely you are to get a good outcome.
RSD and CRPS both require immediate and aggressive treatment. Often, the doctor your insurance assigns to you will want to minimize the claim and may not look to diagnose these conditions because it will strongly affect the value of your claim.
If this happens, attorney Gurwin will negotiate with the claims adjuster to get you a better doctor and a valid second opinion if there is reason to believe you have RSD or CRPS. If necessary, he will guide you through the complicated process of changing doctors. He understands that an RSD or CRPS diagnosis can drastically affect your future work restrictions and the value of the case, but it is essential that you get proper treatment and care. We work diligently to get you the care you need as quickly as possible and the compensation to treat it properly.
