What is CRPS?
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a severe, debilitating pain disorder that is often caused by trauma to the affected area. Diagnosing CRPS can be challenging as there is no existing test for CRPS; however, the diagnosis is made as a result of certain criteria based on the type, intensity and symptoms of pain.
What are CRPS Symptoms?
Typically with CRPS, there are physical signs in the affected area that could include: dysesthesia (pain, burning or tingling upon touch), hypersensitivity, swelling, skin discoloration or ongoing, general pain. CRPS is usually a progressive disorder that gets worse with time. If diagnosed early, physical therapy, nerve block injections and medication can help. However, as the condition worsens, patients are less likely to reverse these symptoms. Treatment for CRPS patients should start immediately upon diagnosis.
