Ketamine for chronic pain

Posted by ckeys @ckeys, Sep 3, 2019

My pain doctor recently prescribed ketamine as an adjunct to my pain management. Has anyone had experience with this? It has to be compounded and you inhale it through a nose spray. Since it’s compounded there is not much info on side effects so I’m curious about other’s experiences.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

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.

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!
