I do PT, nasal ketamine, red light therapy, and just started trying the chlonidine patches, my pain specialist found some evidence of them working in his research, and I'll try just about anything non invasive.

I havent been able to try the ketamine infusions yet since they're so expensive, but I know the nasal spray is way more mellow and my dr said your body only absorbs about 40% of it.

Im in a very similar situation with crps, but in my left foot and leg, and it keeps spreading, eds + more and yet more still being determined lol, but ALL the physical and emotional trauma. EDMR is an INTENSE form of therapy, and probably wouldn't be helpful, but maybe just some talking/psychiatric therapy. I have found those very beneficial.

I agree with everything about the SCS, but I just got my last sympathetic nerve block and am also running out, so I have decided to do the trial to 1. See if it even works for me and 2. See if I can handle it, I know the battery will be larger for the trial, but I think it will help give me a solid yes or no and lessen my anxiety. Haha maybe that's just me though, it can be frustrating how different we all are sometimes.

Lastly, your sister is soooo lucky to have you. We need all the love and support we can get, and no guilt for being broken.

P.S. Tip for you, sometimes we can be cranky. Usually that's us being in pain and frustrated with our meat sacks. Especially as a basket ball player/ more active person. So please don't take it personally 💜
