Default Ketamine (special K) and chronic pain relief forever?

Hey,

I don't know if this is the right place in general discussions to be asking, but recently I have heard that ketamine can take away chronic pain forever. I know this might sound stupid, but does anyone know about this. I know that it is illegal and am not going to do it, I was just wondering.

Apparently the hole you can fall into after doing too much special K can reset the receptors that allow you to have pain, you know the ones that our wonderful pain meds block. I dont know if it resets your body in some way, or blocks or unblocks the actually nerve receptors. I just heard that in other countries this is common treatment which can relieve you of chronic pain forever.

When you basically awake from this black hole your pain doesn't come back with you.

I have tried this, but it was before I was in pain well before my condition reared its ugly head.

I was just wondering if anyone heard about this. Since I am a science major it would be nice if someone knew the actual pharmacology to this or why this happens. This posting is written so everyone can understand, so don't call me a tard because I am not using smart words.

Thanks

I'm not giving this much thought, but in no way can my fertile imagination fathom falling into a K Hole will have any benefit on nerve endings, or even wrecking your brain in any way will change your perception of pain, save coma.

Default Yeah me either

I was just wondering if anyone had further information on this. It doesn't seem to be the most logical thing. It was just something I heard about. Apparently in South America it is becoming very popular for doctors to try before giving out a lifetime of highly abused drugs.

thanks
