bump.
Hey I finally hit 100 posts! Where's my prize? Cash is fine. Massage coupon works too. Maybe a new cane? On man, I have been watching House for like a week straight now and I've only seen one spine case so far. Dr. House should check this message board for tough cases! We'll sure keep him busy.

Eddie, I have a client who was in the worst shape of anyone I've seen. He was in bed 22 hours a day for years. He lives near munich. Bertagnoli did not think he was a surgical candidate. Zeegers did not think he was a surgical candidate.
Dr. Baumbach stayed with him and kept looking for solutions. He sent him to a clinic in Germany that does a similar treatment. High doses of a variety of meds for about a week, followed by another week of PT. I may have some of the details incorrect of oversimplified, but it is similar to what you have posted. He came back to almost 100%. It's been a year and a half and he still bikes all over... travels... he and his wife trekked in Nepal last year! This is similar to what Dr. Mikhael (my pain management doc) does. See Marissa's story on the GPN story pages. With years of chronic pain, we can develop a chronic pain disorder that becomes THE problem. The underlying issues can resolve themselves with time, but we still have a pain disorder. I believe this treatment can resolve the chronic pain disorder for many of us. Mark

Pain Comas
This is a usual practice now for RSD patients and there are doctors in LA that do out patient Ketamine boosters that give relief. UCLA and USC are two places that do this but usually insurance does not cover it and it can run 1500 to 2000 a day. The top doctors with this research are Dr. Schwartzman in Philly and Dr. Kirkpatrick in Tampa, FL. Both are the ones that direct the coma studies in Germany and Mexico. Many people are now doing the ketamine boosters with some success. I hope this helps.
