We hear this story daily when patients call in for help with their CRPS.
She was once an active, vibrant woman who loved being outdoors — until one small injury changed everything. What started as pain in her ankle quickly became something far more cruel. The burning, swelling, and sensitivity spread until even the lightest touch felt unbearable.
Doctors told her it was Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) — a rare and devastating condition where the nervous system goes haywire, sending constant pain signals long after the body should have healed.
She tried everything: medications, nerve blocks, physical therapy. Nothing touched the pain. She lost her mobility.
Then she found Ketamine infusions — and for the first time in years, the pain quieted. She could walk without crying. She could sleep. She could start to live again. Did she still have some pain? Yes-but now it was tolerable. She got her quality of life back.
CRPS doesn’t go away-but ketamine can improve the pain and increase the quality of life. It’s a daily battle that most people can’t see. But for many warriors like her, Ketamine infusions give their lives back — helping them reclaim moments of peace, movement, and hope.
The quicker we start ketamine infusions on someone with CRPS-the better the outcome potential.
This month, we honor everyone fighting CRPS — and the courage it takes just to get through the day. 💛
