Hi Rachel and everyone. My CRPS is continuing to progress. It started on left upper body and in last week continued now to right upper body and in last 48 hours into my left toe.
I saw on this sight a treatment called Ketamine Pain Treatments. I've followed up and found that the head doctor at UPMC Pittsburgh, Pa. pain manag ,Where I live, does these and called his office this morning. His nurse told me that he was booked until late January. I explained my situation. I recieved a call back an hour later that they had a cancellation. on 1/9/23. I jumped at it. I understand that the Ketamine treatment is not covered buy any insurance.
Any idea how much each treatment will cost me? Depending on haw much I may have to do a reverse mortgage on my home.Pleae respond from anyone as how much this will cost me. Please advise. Thank's Darryl

Hi Darryl. This is good news. I have heard of ketamine infusions and how some people get relief. I looked into ketamine once but like you say, it's not covered by insurance. I think your best bet is to contact the office that is scheduling you and ask them how much it is out of pocket. I'm sure prices vary.

Hi Darryl,
YMMV, but it seems to run about 2K per infusion under medical supervision in my experience.

Hi Darryl - How's it going? Have you had any luck pursuing ketamine treatments for pain?
