I think its more likely just coincidence when I had all the problems the first time. I think it's more likely that my RSD has been spreading internally over the past six months due to a number of other symptoms I've had. The only part there that doesn't make sense is that all of my Ketamine treatments should have stopped it but what do I know? I guess I'll have to suck it up and get the colonoscopy done to be sure. I'm just scared to death of them perforating or tearing anything and causing RSD to spread then.

My doctor advised against a colonoscopy. Since I had severe abdominal pain, he ordered a virtual colonoscopy. I still had to do the prep but the actual procedure was quick easy, and no needle sticks. It is quite pricy but my insurance paid for it since my doctor was concerned about CRPS spread. Hope this helps!
