You've sought help, and are looking for alternative help. The vodder training is a post graduate training, I know orthopedic surgeons, oncologists, OTs, PTs, RNs, LPNs and yes, massage therapists with the training.
I encourage you to continue to follow up with doctors, but MLD is a specific treatment that can help with chronic pain and inflammation, and I've seen great results in cases that sound similar to mine. In addition, I know that anyone with that training has been taught to NOT treat with MLD if they suspect another cause (i.e. if it looks like your or RA they will treat but refer to your MD, if it looks like cancer or an infection they won't treat and will refer to your MD)
I'd also call a few of the clinics and see if they could do a free 15 min consult, or if they charge for the appointment if they can't treat you. I work in a different country, with different expectations, but it's an international certification
