Gotta love the US.....Why start the treatment with the most potential soonest when it might do the most good ?

I try not to dwell on it, but every now and then after an awful pain flare when I am confined to bed, I wonder my "What ifs"

What if the physiatrist employee health first sent me to took my complaints of burning pain seriously ?

What if they attempted to control my pain BEFORE sending me to PT to do strengthening exercises ?

What if they listened to my shrink who said he felt the depression was because of the pain, not the cause of the pain ?

At the end of the day, my 'what ifs' are ruminating and not helpful, so I try to avoid them.

IF the ketamine works and enough of us try it and have good results AND we argue for change with our healthcare system, MAYBE we can affect change for the next 'generation' of RSD'ers.........THAT would be a helpful 'what if'
