62 year old man in Sarasota, Fl. Have had CRPS/RSD in both arms & hands since 1994. Pain in past would come in episodes. Last 2 years or so the pain is continuous & my only relief comes from much hated pain meds.
The only hope I see on the horizon is the Ketamine Infusion but I have not been able to locate an MD that accepts Medicare for this procedure. Any help would be much more than appreciated. Live on Social Security Disability & that does not allow for a whole lot of extras.

Welcome to NT!

You've come to a wonderful place of support and understanding. I'm sorry you battle this very frustrating condition also. The CRPS/RSD forum is full of wonderful people who can truly relate. Ketamine is frequently discussed there.
Make yourself right at home in this down-to-earth atmosphere, where people are easy to talk to and the care is truly genuine.


Just holler if you have any questions or need help in finding your way around.
There's a friend around every corner

It's great to have you!
