Default Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for RSD/CRPS

I saw a yet another neuro doc last week. She said patients travel all over U.S. to see her. She was very knowledgable about RSD. To my relief, she never touched me to give me an exam because she said it was obvious I had RSD, so there was no point in causing me any more pain. What a relief for a change!! She went through my records and said there was nothing else that could be done. I have tried everything. We spoke about ketamine infusions since that is all I havent tried. She said she has had 5 RSD patients that have used ketamine & that all of them have had long-term hallucinations after receiving the ketamine treatments. She also mentioned transcranial magnetic stimulation, but said that she seriously doubted that it would work for me since nothing else has. I also have bipolar disorder & she said that could mess with things psych wise.
