CRPS, short for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, also know as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RDS) Syndrome is a chronic,complex and often misunderstood condition that manifests as intense and relentless pain, typically affecting a specific region of the body or full body. Often referred to as the "fire disease," is the most painful disease known to mankind. CRPS can ignite excruciating sensations, leading to a significant decline in one's quality of life. It can be characterized by various symptoms, including burning pain, swelling, changes in skin color and temperature, and impaired mobility. CRPS can occur after any injury, such as a twisted ankle or stubbed toe, or even as a result of fractures requiring a cast. Surgeries, such as knee or shoulder scopes, can also trigger CRPS. Additionally, CRPS can be caused by events like strokes or heart attacks, which are commonly unknown triggers. It is found that nearly 200,00 pateints are affected annually in the United States.
There are two types of of CRPS:
Type 1 can develop from unknown nerve damage and this is the most common form of CRPS. It typiclaly occurs after an injury or trauma.
Type 2, also know as causalgia, occurs after a documented nerve injury that affects the nerve.
There are three stages to CRPS:
Stage 1, The patient may experience a burning sensation, muscle spasms, joint stiffness, and rapid hair or nail groth near the injury site. Can also have vasospasm, which can cause changes in skin color and fluctuating skin temperatures.
Stage 2, the pain at the injury site intensifies, and the swelling may spread. Hair and nail growth may slow down or stop altogether. The joints start to thicken, reducing their mobility, and there is worsening loss of bone density.
Stage 3, the pain intensifies and becomes relentless. If left untreated, the damage to the skina nd bones may become permanent. The affected limb experiences significant limitation in mobility, and the muscle responsible for joint movement may spasms. In certain instances, the limb may develop contracture, resulting in loss of function. Additionally, the skin becomes highly sensitive to even the slightest touch, causing constant and severe pain.
