hurt back

What is the name of your state?I live in Georgia and hurt my back at work two years ago, yet it has been an incredible fight to get any health care at all. (I no longer work for the same company and I now have health insurance). Basically, I am not sure what to do at this point because I still don't feel my best interests are being considered, even though I have an attorney. As it stands, I did not settle and am supposed to now have an open medical claim. That would be great, except for the fact that the other attorney has somehow convinced my original WC doctor to no longer see me so that they can send me to their IME doctor. This is a problem because my WC doctor is the one who knows that I was actually hurt more by physical therapy (and thus recommended some alternative options which really helped me), whereas others I have been to still want to rely on the physical therapy. My PCP (through my own insurance) finally referred me to a neurologist, who has now referred me for acupuncture and other specialists which are not covered by HMO. So I am at a standstill and I'm not sure how I should go about getting the treatments I need so I can hopefully heal and get on with my life.
Also, is there any recourse with a personal injury lawyer instead? I know you can't sue your employer, but is that still true if I no longer work there? Thank you so much for your advice.
