My doctor feels that the ketamine is my final hope.

I cant help wonder if my c4 buldging disk is causing all my problems. My pain is constant, but worse in different positions.

Would you do the ketamine infusion?


Dear Dianna,

Hi and welcome,
I wonder if your c4 bulge maybe causing your symptoms rather than RSD/CRPS?
Whilst you do have some symptoms of CRPS you do not have some either.
There are many problems which cause pain but the diagnosis of CRPS is dependent mainly on symPtoms.
I would really investigate the disc problem and perhaps alleviation of that issue may also alleviate your symptoms.
Can I ask what type of doctor diagnosed your CRPS?
Wishing you heaps of luck and as someone who is a Ketamine regular I would truly recommend it if you do have RSD/CRPS.
Take care
Tayla
