Default How to suggest Ketamine as a treatment to your GP?
I've an app' tomorrow and everything has been tried you name it all the opiates/nerve pain killers/anti-convulsants/nerve blocks etc

Now I'm worried what my GP will think when I suggest this, I've scowered the whole web ever since having this and Ketamine is the only thing that has a consistent high pain relief rate feedback

I can only just use my hands so something needs to happen now as it's getting much worse

Do you have any other professionals involved in your care? Pain Management doc, etc.?

A GP may not be very knowledgeable about that treatment. I have a GP on my team, but he is not my primary doctor for treating my CRPS.

I'm in pain management but there's a four month wait until I see them next, saw them once and they didn't even discuss pain relief - useless, they went through a bunch of stuff and said there's nothing more they could do and I wouldn't accept that notion so they offered me acupuncture we'll see
