Upper Thigh Pain Months After Hip Replacement

The problem I am having is this is all Workmans comp so they won't let me switch. I do have an attorney so I'm hoping we can figure something out. My primary care is also now involved so hoping something good will happen. They want me to have a nerve conduction study done, and Workmans comp is making me do it, even though I have zero nerve issue symptoms.
The whole reason that I had to have this hip replacement was because I was hurt at work. I tripped over their dog and went flying into a metal filing cabinet and my hip took all the impact. I had severe tearing of the labrum and the cartilage to the point the only thing they could do was replace it.

My daughter is just finishing dealing with a Workman's Comp orthopedic case.
NO progress was mad until her attorney insisted that a Certified Rehabilitation Coordinator be included in the case (your attorney should know how to find a good one.) Then she was able to get the doctors and therapy she needed, regardless of what the company said.
Has your attorney suggested this yet?
