Amber , Please send the name of the MD you are seeing.

Also, does anyone have any experience with any MD's in NYC?

My sister has RSD for 14 years and until 1 month ago was being managed pretty well w/ dilaudid in her implanted pain pump and working out every day. She has started having severe pain in her foot and it is traveling up to her pelvis and rectum.

I have experience with a doctor in NYC his name is DR Richman and he is at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He is in thier pain department. I just got done with a procedure with him in which he also did the 5 day in-patient ketamine and he was wonderful.

Hi Niki,
I too have RSD and am being seen at the hospital for special surgery. I am seeing Dr. Waldman there. How did you like Dr. Richman? I am about to go for the 5 day ketamine...can you tell me a little about your experience? What did it feel like? Where there any bad parts? Can you describe what it was like those 5 days?
And most of all...did it help? How long did that last? How are you feeling now?

Thank you so much. I am so scared for this whole thing I would love the support and knowledge of what it was like!
Best,
Kelsey
