There are different options out there with inpatient and outpatient options, different doses, different schedules, etc. I've looked into it before but never felt like it was the right option for me (though no doctor ever offered it either). There are some pretty amazing success stories out there though so definitely worth researching to see if it's something he wants to try.

My husband has decided not to do DRG treatment, so that's off the table.....
So...we are really looking into other treatments. We've done quite a lot of research into Ketamine treatments and its seems like people are having good results with it (one woman said she had to stop treatment because it made her extremely nauseous and dizzy) pain reduced to a 1 or 2 and being able to use leg,foot,hand etc again.
We don't know if Workers Comp will pay for the Ketamine treatments, if not, we will talk to the VA and see if they will cover it. I've read that it is covered on some people's insurance .
The other option that we are looking at is Peripheral nerve surgery. Workers Comp paid for my husband to see a specialist who preforms the sugary and then denied the surgery
:. My husband and his lawyer will be going to a hearing this month to get it sorted .
Thank you for responding.
