Default which path will you choose?

Now i am generalized CRPS in all 4 limbs and left side of face and am SIP. 2nd opinion Dr. gave treatment as ketamine coma in Mexico for $50, up front (Germany not doing them anymore) Thats not going to happen, then said i could try 3 day high dose ketamine. I was taking methadone to cover the pain. I tried all narcotics and methadone was the only one working. Dr. didnt agree with narcotics b/c he said if come off them i would go thru withdrawl and flare CRPS or skin becoming more sensative. I had recently read an article about how Methadone is a good choice for tx! My original Dr. said dont worry you are not going to be able to come off them b/c you have a chronic condition. I have read: tx is topicals, lyrica/neurontin, antidepressant-cymbalta, MAO inhib. and opoids! Is this just a ploy for me to come off narcotic and have a coma? Is anyone else on narcotics and how do you feel about it? I do fear my body becoming addicted and getting older being on narcotics but i dont get it. I still feel i missed my opportiunity to get the SCS, but i guess i have to move on. I dont know who to believe anymore. I came out of that Drs office thinking-you know what no one knows. I feel I listened to Drs and now i am general CRPS. I feel like now its my decision to choose my path and i dont know which to take. momof4
