Legal Question in Workers Comp in Texas

Workers Comp surgery x2

My brother in law hurt his back at work, had surgery... He's been back to his doctor, (not the WC Doc), he's saying the surgery wasn't done completly and needs to get it fixed. WC wants him to try cortizone shots and thearpy first. He's got bone rubbing bone, so it's not going to do much good. He's in pain but not as much as the pain WC is putting him through.

Is it his right to have them go back and corrected the problem?

Should he contact a lawyer?
