@A MyChronicPainTeam Member it’s a medication that is supposed to reverse depression & is also used to treat chronic pain. They give it IV & just recently FDA approved a nasal spray of it.

I received two infusions. I am not experiencing benefit, but maybe if I could have hung in there for a few more? The clinic staff told me that they help most everyone they treat.

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member yeah I’ve had the radio frequency ablation or rhizotomy a couple times now & agree helps! My dr said The highest he can go is C3 & my fractures are higher up. I’m surprised that no one has heard of ketamine for depression & chronic pain in humans. They’re several ketamine clinics around here & several pain clinics here are advertising they do ketamine infusions. Thanks for responding & hope you’re having a low pain day!

Never tried not heard of ketamine for people. It is an animal tranquilizer. For them they can't move but are not asleep. I've heard of it as a date rape drug too. I have had the nerves burned in my back, again in 10 days, that helps me for over a year
