Hello and Welcome Katie,

My goodness, you HAVE had a lot to take in. I am glad you have been able to access good care and also see Dr. Chopra. We often refer new members to his video on CRPS diagnosis. It is not uncommon for diagnosis to take a while. Many of us have been there with the frustration, worry and gnashing of teeth while waiting for answers.

Please come see us on the CRPS/RSD subforum. We have a friendly group always ready to share support and advice. Some of us get ketamine (self included) so we understand that as well.

I deeply hope that your upcoming procedure brings you relief. Wouldn't that be amazing? If you come post about that on the CRPs forum we can send prayers and healing vibes your way before your surgery. Hang in there and be kind to yourself. Healing and improvement is possible. I hope they find their way to you soon!
