I appreciate your insight. I'll be following to see how the upper body DRG works for you. I totally understand wanting to go back to a "6." I got great relief from ketamine/lidocaine infusion (ketamine alone did not help). The pain wasn't gone, but I was a little more functional. I'm in the whole workman's comp never ending vortex too. They will not pay for anything even though they have accepted my injury and CRPS. I pay $1200 for each ketamine infusion. I was able to scrape it together until WC cut my pay by 60% last week. My lawyer estimates 4 more years until I get through appeals. Now I'm totally screwed.

I hear your desperation and I totally get it.
