What Is CRPS?

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is characterized by intense, prolonged pain often accompanied by swelling, changes in skin color or temperature, and heightened sensitivity. CRPS typically arises after an injury, surgery, or trauma affecting the nervous system. Without expert care from a knowledgeable CRPS doctor, these symptoms can significantly disrupt daily life.

common symptoms of CRPS

This can be constant or fluctuating and may be a burning or “pins and needles” sensation.

Sometimes the affected area has increased sensitivity with light touch or normal physical contact. This may feel like a pinprick.

This can be a change in skin temperature, skin color, or swelling of the affected area. It can be warmer or cooler than normal. The color may become blotchy, blue, pale, red, purple, or gray. The skin’s texture may change as well due to insufficient oxygen and nutrients.

Hair and nails may grow rapidly on the affected limb as well as profuse sweating or even no sweating.

This is due to reduced movement in the affected limb. Ligaments and tendons become tight and may cause pinched nerves.

Bones may become rough or enlarged in areas where a poorly healed fracture or bone cyst may have existed.

Most people reported to have reduced ability to move the affected limb. This is caused by pain and abnormalities in the sensory input that coordinates movements. Inflammation and poor circulation contribute to this symptom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most CRPS is thought to be caused by damage to injured peripheral sensory neurons, which then has secondary effects on the spinal cord and brain.

​The most common activities that cause CRPS include: Fractures. Wrist fractures are the most common cause of CRPS. Surgery. A surgical incision, retractors, positioning, sutures, or post-operative scarring can cause nerve injury.

Sprains/Strains. Tissue ruptures can cause excess movement of a joint that stretches nearby nerves.

Burns and Cuts. These are the visible signs of injuries that may also have damaged underlying nerves.

Very Rare Penetrations, such as from a cut or needle stick, can accidentally pierce a sensory nerve. 

Poor Circulation can delay healing. This can deprive underlying muscles and deeper tissues of oxygen and nutrients, which can cause muscle weakness and joint pain. 

Poor Nerve Health. Conditions such as diabetes or neuropathy can lead to CRPS.
