Ketamine infusions for pain

by Tori on Sun May 29, 2016 2:23 am

I have just been speaking to my doctor today and he mentioned speaking to my oncologist regarding ketamine Infusions. Apparently there is a procedure where you have a hospital stay of 3-7 days and are infused with ketamine.

It is supposed to be very good for chronic pain as it can help reset your nervous system if, for example, you have because tolerant to your pain medications.

Was wondering if anyone here has had this procedure and, if so, if it helped?
