I have read many accounts of Ketamine infusions being very helpful, but that they also have to be continued at certain intervals. I don't know that W/C would pay for it, but you can always ask (If your treating doc feels it is appropriate).

I did have a doctor talk about, but he also cautioned that it would likely be of limited use. Plus, any surgery w/CRPS brings along risks of spread, so that has to be considered as well.
