Ketamine for chronic pain

My pain specialist wants to prescribe Ketamine orally for me for my CRPS (type 2.) I've discussed it with my neurologists and they don't believe it will be effective and I'm a high risk due to my Seizure Disorder and migraines. It may "help" or not either one of those at the risk of sending their controlled status out of whack as well.
I really don't know what to do. Both neurologists recommend IV ketamine for CRPS especially since I am progressing, but no other method.

In reply to this message,I have discovered that due to my grand mal seizures, I’m not a candidate for ketamine. Bummer... i do not discourage this treatment but PLEASE make sure you are getting from a provider who knows what they are talking about not someone who is guessing.

I also have RSD (now called CPRS) and was considering the ketamine infusions. Unfortunately it was way too expensive for me to try.
I have had it for 20 years now. One traumatic accident brought in on in my left leg. My life was forever changed. Anyways good luck to you, there aren’t too many of us out there so I had to respond to you.
Take care!
