Hey there -

In regards to ketamine - for me it has been extremely effective - and it was about 3 and a half years from the time of my injury before I started the infusions. In the meantime, I had had 2 surgeries and almost 200 units of PT, 8 or 9 blocks, 8 lidocaine infusions, more meds than I can remember, etc.

So sure - it may be better statistically if you are able to get ketamine infusions within 6 months of the onset of your RSD. But many of us just aren't able to do that, and we still have good results. And besides, it can take that long (or even longer) just to get into some practictioner's ketamine programs. So don't give up hope.

Good Luck, Sandy
