What Is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a lasting pain condition that often affects a specific area on the body, commonly after an injury or surgery. CRPS is often identified through signs of extreme pain, odd skin color, and increased swelling and temperature. CRPS can make every facet of a person’s life more difficult, making it vital to pursue a compensation claim for this condition.
Common Symptoms Of CRPS
CRPS can affect an injury victim in many different ways. Knowing the signs of this condition can help you take the proper steps toward recovery. The symptoms of CRPS can vary in intensity and duration but commonly include:
- Continuous and extreme pain
- Sensitivity to touch or cold
- Swelling in the affected body area
- Changes in skin temperature
- Changes in skin color and texture
- Joint stiffness and muscle spasms
If you suspect you are suffering from CRPS after a workplace injury, do not make the mistake of hoping it will go away on its own. Instead, seek medical attention immediately, and contact our workplace injury attorneys for guidance on the next steps.
