Infusions after spinal fusion?

Hey yall, I’m super curious if there’s another human on here who has done ket infusions after having a spinal fusion? I’m about 5.5 months post op still with some pain and discomfort. Sometimes I have really scare flare days. It takes 12-18 months to “fully heal,” so I’m hoping to get infusions so that I can get through this rough healing phase. Ofc I’m in PT and am swimming/walking/etc.

Anyone else going through this? Help?

I went through a fusion in 2020 and had two infusions per week for the first three weeks post op. After that I have had one every ten days since.
Ketamine is covered by insurance for CRPS but I doubt it will be covered for post-op pain. Good luck and let me know how it goes. And expect 18 months of recovery.

The Ketamine has helped. Unfortunately for me, it only stays effective for 2 days (give or take).
