What is CRPS?

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that usually affects a limb following a physical injury like a sprain, broken bone, or surgery. It is characterized by prolonged or excessive pain and changes in skin color, temperature, and swelling in the affected area due to improper function of the nerve fibers that carry pain messages to the brain.

Conditions Associated With CRPS

Dystonia: Involuntary muscle contractions or cramps.

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome): A condition triggered by standing up from a sitting position, leading to a rapid heart rate, dizziness, and fatigue.

Gastroparesis: Paralysis of the stomach, disrupting digestion by impairing the stomach’s nerves and muscles.

Neurologic Hypersensitivity: Heightened sensitivity to sound and light.

Muscle Weakness and Atrophy: Gradual weakening and shrinking of muscles in the legs and/or arms over time.

Common Symptoms of CRPS

Spontaneous Pain: This can be a constant or fluctuating pain, often described as a burning sensation or “pins and needles.”

Prolonged Pain After Use or Contact: The affected area may develop increased sensitivity, where even light touch or normal physical contact causes pain. This might feel like a pinprick.

Changes in Skin: The affected area may experience changes in skin temperature, color, or swelling. The skin may become warmer or cooler than usual, and its color might turn blotchy, blue, pale, red, purple, or gray. Skin texture may also change due to insufficient oxygen and nutrients.

Sweating and Hair/Nail Growth: There may be abnormal hair and nail growth on the affected limb, either growing rapidly or not at all, accompanied by excessive sweating or lack of sweating.

Joint Stiffness: Reduced movement in the affected limb can lead to joint stiffness, as ligaments and tendons tighten, potentially pinching nerves.

Bone Growth or Wasting: Bones in the affected area may become rough, enlarged, or waste away, particularly where a poorly healed fracture or bone cyst existed.

Reduced Muscle Strength or Movement: Many individuals experience a decreased ability to move the affected limb, due to pain, sensory abnormalities, and inflammation.
