Has anyone done Ketamine infusions and seen an improvement in allodynia??

I am in the process of getting my cardio clearance requirements done so I can actually schedule my 10 day outpatient ketamine infusion.

One of my main issues right now is the inability to wear any type of footwear. This is preventing me from returning to work and I am about one month away from losing a very stressful but rewarding counseling job in a community mental health center. Plus it is winter and my feet are getting cold!

Thanks!!!
My allodynia is way more do-able with Neurontin (gabapentin). It is the best at fighting these types of symptoms that are typical for nerve pain - for me, not that I can walk better or my CRPS improves with the medication, it just... takes care of the painful symptoms.

I hope Ketamine infusions help you, though.

What did your doctor say about regular medications, for nerve pain? Or, have you tried those already?
