Thank you for posting your experience Dawn. How long will this infusion last you?

I have a herniated L4 disc and then on the front of my abdomen i have 70lbs of swelling that i feel a great deal of pain and burning in. But now the Fentanyl patch has helped with all the burning but there isnt any thing that will take the swelling away. I am taking a drug called Imuran that seems to help keep the swelling in check along with the prednisone. Every time i try to ween myself off of them i start to swell more, but only on my abdomen where i had all the surgeries.

The swelling makes me walk bent over in pain holding onto my walker. I am wondering/hoping if the ketamine will take away enough discomfort that i could walk standing up straight? Thats my prayer. I dont have the deep tissue burning now but i have the external skin pain if i touch my stomach and the temperature changes, hot and cold spots.

What a crazy body! I would just like more control over my body. Just not sure if this is my answer.
