Ketamine is a VERY strong pain medication that Doctors will only usually prescribe as a last resort if nothing else has helped. My Pain Management Doctor was very afraid to try Ketamine because of my age (i'm only 14) but felt it was needed as a last resort. It has been the only med that reduces my pain but even then it only takes my pain from a 8 and a half to a 6 and a half.

Lots of drug addicts take Ketamine which is why doctors are usually hesitant to prescribe it. It is called Special K on the streets from what my Doctor has told me. It does have very good results for some people with RSD though and lots of people have Ketamine Infusions or Ketamine Coma if their RSD is really severe.
