\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome which is often abbreviated to CRPS is a condition that can torment a person for an incredibly long period of time. The condition used to be known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy but was changed fairly recently. People who suffer from CRPS have dysfunction within either their central nervous system or their peripheral nervous system.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dysfunction causes the system to send misconstrued faint signals to the brain on a frequent or even constant basis. This results in the system becoming oversensitive and pain being experienced for a good long while after a person may have recovered from an injury. If you end up suffering from CRPS there are a number of symptoms that are fairly common to the condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 of those symptoms are listed and described here. Not every person with CRPS will experience every symptom listed here, but it is likely that they\u2019ll experience a fair few of them at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. \t\u201cBurning\u201d pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One type of pain that people describe feeling when they are affected by the condition CRPS is a burning pain<\/a> that tends to make its way through the affected area. The pain usually starts in the lower part of the affected limb, closest to the torso, and feels like a dull burn, before rising like a house fire full of aggression up towards the outer extremities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This burning sensation is likened to waves of lava, coming and going but always there if you look hard enough for it. It can be almost impossible to live a normal life and go about with daily activities when this burning pain presents itself, but that’s just what people living with CRPS burning pain are burdened with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of exercise programs and fitness professionals encourage people to \u2018feel the burn’, but this is exactly what people with CRPS wish they couldn’t feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. \tSensitive skin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sensitive skin<\/a> can spring up from seemingly nowhere with CRPS, although it is usually found on the affected limb, limbs, or other areas of the body. The sensitivity may spread to the farthest-flung extremities of the limb and it isn’t ever pleasant to have to feel your skin become sensitive to touch or even come in a rash as if you are suffering from an allergic reaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where sensitive skin is noted as a symptom of CRPS, it may not be too difficult to remedy or to at least provide some temporary relief for someone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular washing and moisturizing can help to alleviate sensitive skin, which can be especially annoying when it becomes sensitive to everything from a gentle brush of an arm as someone passed by to a gentle breeze on a sleeveless arm. In the list of common symptoms to do with CRPS, this one is definitely towards the milder side of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. \tChanges in skin temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another potential symptom that people suffering from CRPS might notice is that the affected area may feel warmer or cooler when compared with the other parts of the body that aren’t affected by CRPS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anecdotal accounts of this particular symptom make for a pretty interesting reading as people try to find the words to describe the symptoms they’re experiencing. One person described a feeling as though they were plunging their left leg into a snowdrift whilst their right leg was stood on a tropical beach, such as the disparity between the temperature <\/a>in each leg.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another person with CRPS described a feeling as though their left hand seemed to set alight whenever they put their gloves on. This description certainly seems to tie in with the previous two symptoms which talk about a burning sensation and sensitive skin, but it really does make CRPS sound more like a phenomenon than an illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. \tChanges in skin color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another contrast between the skin of the affected area and the skin <\/a>on the rest of the body is found with the skin color of a person. The skin at the affected limb, limbs, or farther-flung reaches of the body may often appear either blotchy looking, purple in color, blank and pale, or flushed and red.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge variety of skin color fluctuations are possible, and they all have their roots in the same place, with CRPS. One person with CRPS described their left arm as looking like a bowl of Neapolitan ice cream. They described how their hand appeared bright red in color, almost glowing, whilst their forearms up to the elbow looked pale and cold with the upper arm looking the most like their usual skin color, a light brown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for this person, their arm wasn’t showing signs of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate flavoring, but just another symptom of CRPS.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. \tChanges in skin texture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On top of changes to skin temperature <\/a>and skin color, a person may also experience changes to their skin texture, which can be just as distressing, if not more so, than the other two potential changes to the skin which are symptomatic of CRPS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One change that might occur in terms of texture is that the skin on someone’s legs may suddenly appear to be shiny and thin, with an almost translucent quality. When this happens, the skin can feel very dry and prone to cracking, with more veins visible than would normally be the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another example of how the skin texture might change due to CRPS is that the skin may become excessively moist and sweaty. This unexpected increase in sebum production can alter the skin’s texture in more than just a subtle way though, as excess sebum on the skin can lead to acne problems which will obviously affect the texture of someone’s skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. \tChanges in nail and hair growth patterns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A consistent and reliable rate of hair and nail growth is something that most people take for granted throughout their lives, and with good reason too. Hair and nails are usually seen in one of two ways by people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first way that hair and nails can be viewed as a nuisance, always need to be kept in check, cut short, and groomed. The people in the other camp see hair and nails as things that need to be grown, groomed, and cultivated to perfection in order to help them express their identity and their characteristics.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever side of the fence you happen to sit on, there is no doubt that CRPS can have a serious impact on the growth rates of hair <\/a>and nails, slowing these rates down in more cases. If you love curling your hair and painting your nails ahead of a big night out, you\u2019ll want to avoid CRPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. \tSwelling and stiffness in affected joints<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Joint stiffness <\/a>and the associated swelling are further symptoms that people with CRPS can expect from the development of CRPS. Stiffness which occurs in the small joints, and sometimes the fingers, can come on slowly, but it usually occurs in the limbs or extremities affected by CRPS.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stiffness and swelling can last for months, making daily tasks particularly difficult. Compartmentalized stiffness can be a real telltale symptom of CRPS for sure, however, any overarching, more general feeling of stiffness throughout the body, could be an indicator of something else, such as rheumatism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lying or sitting for long periods of time can extend this stiffness, but sometimes that is all that a person may feel up to do if they have CRPS symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to be able to draw a distinction between joint stiffness in general, and joint stiffness that comes on as a result of CRPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. \tDecreased ability to move the affected body part<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It should come an as little surprise to anyone that any part of the body subjected to this amount of symptoms <\/a>may experience a decreased ability in terms of functionality and mobility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a limb feels as though it is burning, it is going to be put to use a lot less than if it felt fine, just as sensitive skin is likely to be covered or avoided altogether, as opposed to strong and stable skin. In the case of CRPS, the affected body part may be increasingly sensitive, susceptible to color changes, and unusual in terms of texture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This list of 8 common symptoms is not exhaustive at all but it is a very good starting point for someone with CRPS to begin at, in order to narrow their down their options on the road to a correct diagnosis. None of the CRPS symptoms mentioned here are pleasant, but better the devil you know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

9. Loss of Range of Motion in Joints<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People dealing with CRPS may notice that they start to lose the range of motion in their joints. The
ROM is the full flexion of the joint. Many patients see problems in the vertebrae (neck joints),
shoulders, elbows, and wrists. The condition can also affect the hips, but less so the knees and
ankles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The patient will eventually recover their muscular weight and range of motion after the injury heals,
provided there is no lasting damage to the affected area of your physiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The patient will need to spend time in rehabilitation to recover the full ROM and movement in the
joint. If the patient experiences muscle wasting of the affected limb, it may take them months in
rehab to fully use their affected arms or legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Maintaining your
physiotherapy<\/a> program is critical to your recovery. People who fail to complete
their physio sessions and the exercises they give you to do at home experience a slower recovery
time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

10. Prolonged Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People who experience CRPS find that the condition creates different types of pain. We’ve already
discussed how the disorder creates a burning pain sensation. However, the patient may also
experience sharp pains when flexing the affected limb or turning their neck in the case of an injury to
the cervical spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


In most cases, the pain will subside as the injury heals. However, depending on the extent of the
damage and the nerves affected by the trauma, the patient may end up with long-term pain
problems requiring pain management from their doctor through prescribed
medication<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Some patients may experience pain all the time, while others may only feel pain on contact
(touching) of the affected area. In cases where the patient is sensitive to touch, even the lightest
touch of the affected area could induce a severe pain response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As a result, affected individuals may find it hard to get to sleep because of the pressure of the pillow
against the injured area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

11. Muscle Wasting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In patients with severe CRPS problems, the muscular response to nervous system stimulus
experiences a slowdown or disruption to its normal function. The severity of the injury may damage
the patient’s muscular response, causing the affected limb to experience muscular wastage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, the bones in the affected patient don’t experience any degeneration, just the muscle
tissues. Doctors will use MRI scans and X-rays to determine the extent of the damage, helping
specialists target the problem area with effective treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Some individuals may experience a broken bone in the trauma from the accident causing the
condition. When the bone heals, it may heal incorrectly, causing the trapping or rubbing of
nerves<\/a>
resulting in changes to motor functions in the affected limb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As a result, the patient may experience prolonged CRPS symptoms. In some cases, the patient may
need surgery to overcome the structural issue between the skeletal and nervous systems. However,
this condition is rare, and most people with CRPS make a full recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

12. Degraded Nerve Health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CRPS involves damage to the nerves, specifically C-fiber nerve fibers, which forward messaging
signals to the brain. Doctors grade the injury in two formats, CRPS-1 and CRPS-2. Doctors classify a
CRPS-1 injury when they cannot locate the nerve responsible for the pain and inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


A CRPS-2 injury occurs when the doctor can identify the nerve, diagnosing causalgia in the patient.
Typically, people with CRPS-2 have more extensive damage, making it easier for the doctor to
determine the nerves responsible for causing the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


People with CRPS-2 injuries also find they end up experiencing issues with
weakness<\/a> and a loss of
grip strength. Patients with generalized peripheral neuropathy may not be able to regrow the nerves
damaged in the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Doctors and physiotherapists looking to improve patient health during CRPS recovery will create the
ideal conditions for optimizing the regrowth of nerves in the patient where possible. Patients with
CRPS-2 injuries typically take much longer to heal and require extensive rehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

13. Muscle Weakness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CRPS can occur in the arms or legs, or both. The injured skeletal structure and damaged nerves
around the afflicted area can cause inefficient movement and a loss of strength in the arms and
hands. Some patients report that they have a hard time picking up a glass off of a counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Many times, they will lose their grip suddenly, with the glass smashing on the floor at their feet. This
loss in muscle strength will usually heal by itself over time as the body repairs the damage from the
trauma to the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The combination of pain and muscular
weakness<\/a> may reduce the patient’s quality of life, requiring
them to grip the glass with both hands to stop it from dropping it to the floor. During the healing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

period, the affected individual should avoid activities that bring on the pain response., work with
your physiotherapist to rehabilitate your range of motion and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

14. Severe Complications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CRPS can cause severe complications in some individuals. While cases are rare, they present the
patient with unfavorable outcomes that have long-lasting effects on their physiology, reducing their
quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Some patients report symptoms of abnormal movement of the affected limb or limbs. Patients may
also experience a fixed abnormal posture, otherwise known as Dystonia. People with Dystonia may
also have involuntary muscle contractions and slow, repetitive movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Some patients report experiencing tremors and abnormal jerking of the body. These severe
symptoms can occur due to the spread of disruption to normal neural activity in the spinal cord and
brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Many severe cases end up resolving themselves over time, but some patients may have the
condition stick around for years before suddenly subsiding. Repetitive attacks are possible but rare
after the problem eventually subsides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Some severe cases of CRPS require
surgery <\/a>on the affected limb. It’s a good idea to get a diagnosis
from an orthopedic about the effects of surgery and how it could improve your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
