I was blessed the assIstant professor of UHealth (U of M pain center) Dr Vania Fernandez. (God thing I was suppose get a different dr but ended Up with her and she's one of the best pain specailists on staff) Within five min she asked me if i knew WHAT CRPS WAS, took her time explaining it to me and ordered the first stellate gang block. Hopefully the block will help..I am in bed today and just trying make it to Monday.. I have no insurance but VR is pAying for up to three blocks. Thank u for your input and advice.

The RSD Institute in Tampa, Dr. Kirkpatrick, also has a good reputation. But he does not accept ANY insurance, and it costs $2,500 per day for ketamine treatments.
I highly recommend the RSDSA.org website, there is a ton of great stuff there! Ketamine infusions have helped me regain a good chunk of my former life.
Wishing you the best, Sandy
