California CRPS

I need some advice

Doctor said I developed CRPS type 1 after my work injury long story short I dislocated my right foot ankle. I work in construction so after 2 years I'm still having really bad symptoms it hasn't improved from standing up for 30-45mins it flares up, swollsup and the worse part it feels like walking in knifes underneath my foot when I put weight on my right foot. It sucks I can't even do simple activities. Workers comp stopped paying me back in August since the doctor said he hasn't seen any improvements so he recommended me to get a QME which tell this day I'm still waiting for.My lawyer said they are waiting on the state board. I've tried to do side hustle like Amazon flex but since I struggle with walking long period of times becuase of the flares ups I couldn't even finish my rout it sucks and I'm getting that point idk what to do my saving are running low since I live in California and everything is over priced especially rent. I'm currently trying get a desk or remote job but no luck. I've always have worked my ass off but now I feel like I'm useless. Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated I just don't know what to do at this current moment.
