First of all, if I'm posting this in the wrong area, I hope someone will tell me. I am a 67 year old woman, married to an incredibly supportive husband.i have three gown children, 2 daughters and 1 son, and have 5 grandchildren. I had a 5 level fusion (lumbar) in March of this year. In April I had an emergency surgery for seroma at L5/S1 area. I was diagnosed three months later with CRPS/RSD. I also have lupus which as been well managed; also, fibromyalgia.

I recently went through a trial of the neuro stimulator, with some slight improvement. I elected not to have the permanent stim implant. Just didn't think I had good enough results to warrant another surgery. I just started ketamine torches three days ago. Other than some weird sensations for 20-30 minutes following the lozenge dissolving, I haven't been able to tell any improvement. I'm trying to find out if others have experienced improvement using ketamine torches. I have appt in two weeks to talk about trial intrathecal pump and ketamine infusions. I am going nuts now that I'm spending so many hours alone; husband, who closed his podiatric practice to care for me following surgery, has just gone back to work

Thank you, anyone who responds to this.
