Complex regional pain syndrome, or CRPS, is a chronic and often permanent pain condition that primarily affects an individual’s arms and legs. CRPS, sometimes referred to as reflex sympathetic dystrophy, is caused by dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems as well as inappropriate inflammatory responses. CRPS has several different types of causes, such as major or minor trauma to the arm or leg, such as those that occur in motor vehicle accidents, or slip and falls, or through surgery, stroke or even a heart attack.

CRPS is especially dangerous because so little is known about this disease. The exact cause of CRPS is unknown throughout the medical community, and there are no tests that properly indicate its presence. There is no cure for CRPS, and failure to diagnose it can cause it to spread to other parts of the body. It can be caused by very serious injuries, such as broken bones or fractures, but has also been caused by very minor injuries, such as a sprained ankle, or even a paper cut. What is known is that complex regional pain syndrome is most common between the ages of 20-35, and occurs more often in men than woman. If you have been diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome as a result of an injury or surgery, please call the Downtown L.A. Law Group at (855) 339-8879 for a free consultation.
Unfortunately, there is no way to test for CRPS. Instead, doctors diagnose CRPS after its symptoms persist over a prolonged period of time. Exacerbating matters, however, is that the failure to diagnose CRPS may cause it to spread to other areas of the body, and treatment is most effective when instituted early. The symptoms and pains of CRPS are aggravated by stress and other emotional factors. Therefore, it is crucial that people who have suffered any sort of trauma look out for symptoms associated with CRPS. These symptoms include:
Since there is no cure for CRPS, pain management has become the primary method of treatment. This includes pain management drugs, physical therapy, nerve blocks, surgery and topical creams.
