Good afternoon Swim,
I have CRPS II, as well, and have had several successful surgeries (colonoscopy, endoscopy, bone marrow biopsy, gall bladder removed and a duodejunostomy-which was a very intensive surgery where they had to re-route my stomach to my intestines). The key was that my PM advised the anesthesiologist to use ketamine and the amount needed for each of these surgeries. Luckily, (knock on wood), I did not have any spreads. Recovery was hell, but I made it through.

Good luck and God bless!
