What is CRPS?
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS) are chronic pain conditions that are characterized by continuous, intense pain that worsens over time. Often the pain targets the arms, legs, hands or feet. Other symptoms include significant changes in skin temperature and color of the affected area.
People with CRPS may experience burning pain, swelling, sweating and sensitivity when in the skin. Muscles stiffen, limiting movement and irreversible muscle wasting takes place in the affected limb.
Complex regional pain syndrome typically follows a traumatic injury where the nerves are damaged but may also originate from diseases or surgery affecting other parts of the body.
No cure exists for CRPS but some patients may experience intermittent remission. However, many patients have unrelenting and progressive pain that does not respond to treatment, leaving the patient with a permanent crippling disability.
