1 Who did you have ketamine with and was it outpatient or inpatient? Were you happy with your doctors care?
2 Did anyone's pain get worse?
3 What percentage of pain relief do you feel you have? Are you doing boosters?
4 Any lasting side effects?
5 Any spread of RSD or new conditions that have happened?
6 Anything else you wish you would of asked or done?
Thank you for any feedback

1. Started in Boston at Beth Isreal, outpatient every 2-3 weeks low dose. Move out west to be near Dr. Leverone who does a higher dose.
2. No.
3. 75-80% pain relief, and afterwards with a year of PT, out of wheelchair. I go back as I need, which I am scheduled to do so in the next 2 weeks.
4. I didnt have any side effects or halucinations.
5. I did have spread but this was before ketamine infusions. I do now have ulcers but I think it is from the stress I am under, maybe diet too, not sure.
6. I wished I would of asked Dr. L to marry me, that way I'd always have quick access to him lol. Seriously though, everything was explained and there is never a guarantee but I figured what did I have to lose? Either it worked or it didn't.
