Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
What is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
Complex regional pain syndrome is a type of intense chronic pain. The pain is usually felt in the arms or legs, and sometimes in the hands or feet.
CRPS usually starts after an injury, but can also develop after surgery, a stroke, or a heart attack. Complex regional pain syndrome isn’t common, and doctors don’t know what causes it.
The pain is much worse than would be expected for the injury. It can get worse over time, and may spread to other parts of the body.
