Hi Mewsg,

They are still doing ketamine infusions. There are some newer low dose protocols being done in addition to the more well known 5 and 10 day awake procedure which can still be a hefty amount. I am getting it every 2 weeks (though I had a hiatus for vacation and scheduling conflicts). I feel it has helped a lot and is not scarey and with few side effects for little me.

Here is my ketamine thread. I list my doseage, side effects and outcome.

There are some CRPS doctors who do ketamine infusions listed here. The list is by no means comprehensive. My doc is not on there. I called pain clinics in Austin and just asked if they gave them. There are a couple in DC for you.

I am concerned about your foot. May 10th was not very long ago. It sounds like you need some other ortho type help. CRPS is a diagnosis of exclusion and occurring in the absence of another explanation. How can you be freed from CRPS if it is caused by a broken foot that isnt healed? Did you have a non-union fracture? Have you had follow-up imaging? A second opinion? I have heard of multiple cases of non-union not being seeing by one doc then found and treated by another. And what up with tendon tears? Whatever is wrong in your foot needs to be addressed if it can to give you the best chance of getting out of this. Or maybe getting ketamine or something to break the cycle will help healing factors in your foot get back to work on that bone and soft tissue? What have they said?

Sending gentle hugs and thoughts of healing,
