The condition known as CRPS or complex regional pain syndrome most commonly comes on following a trauma or a significant injury to a limb. It causes moderate to severe pain that is completely out of sync and disproportionate to the original injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, this pain can even be much more serious and longer-lasting than the usual type of pain one might expect to suffer from. Most often, the CRPS pain is limited to the particular limb that was injured in the first place, but it is true that in some cases it can actually spread to other parts of the body in farther-flung places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The external skin of the initially injured part of the body can become incredibly sensitive and vulnerable to even the faintest touch with bumps or even slight changes in temperature also capable of causing intense pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a list of 8 possible home remedies that could set you on the road to recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Try taking magnesium <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most obvious and troubling issue or problem that comes with the feeling and experience of chronic pain<\/a> is that you can find yourself caught up in a perpetual cycle of taking painkilling medication after painkilling medication.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single thing you put inside your body has side effects and so regularly dosing up with a range of different things can cause more harm than good. If always taking a range of different pain-relieving medicine is playing on your mind, you may want to look to the ever-growing world of home and natural remedies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One really good natural and alternative thing a person might choose to take is found with magnesium. Taking magnesium can be very effective in helping to reduce the neural signals of pain that head along the neural pathways to the brain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing about magnesium is that it comes without all the added side effects of your regular over the counter medications.

2. Take vitamin C<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With any kind of inflammation, there is almost always a pain. Inflammation<\/a> can be identified very easily at the heart of pretty much all diseases on earth. It is certainly a very big problem that comes with CRPS or complex regional pain syndrome, that\u2019s for sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coping with or trying to deal with inflammation can be extremely tough, however, taking vitamin C can be a great natural method that someone could use to help reduce inflammation as naturally as possible. Vitamin C is superb for a whole host of things, and it is ideal for people living with CRPS as it speeds up wound healing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taken as a supplement or just eaten as a fruit or in a drink, vitamin C neutralizes so-called free radicals. In doing so, vitamin C synthesizes collagen, which as we know is something that is especially important if you\u2019re experiencing joint pain and joint inflammation. There are a lot of things with vitamin C that are delicious too!

3. Have an Epsom salt bath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Magnesium has previously been listed as something which can be taken to improve the symptoms of CRPS and this suggestion provides a great way to try it out. An Epsom salt <\/a>bath could be the solution you\u2019ve been looking for in the quest to alleviate and find some relief from CRPS pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epsom salts are great when it comes to being able to reduce inflammation significantly and this is ideal for anyone with pain in one or more of their limbs. The best way to benefit from a salt bath is to simply allow a long time soaking in the bath. This can provide fantastic relief to your affected limb or limbs and the even more amazing thing is that a person may even feel a significant difference right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we forget to look after ourselves in a world where rushing around has become the norm, but if you have a condition like CRPS you really have to make sure you take the time to relax and unwind in a hot bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Drink bone broth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This next suggestion looks like something you\u2019d expect to find in a wizard\u2019s book of spells or in a manual on how to become a witch, but read on to see exactly why this point makes it into a list of 8 potential home remedies for CRPS and you might just be pleasantly surprised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we\u2019ve alluded to, bone broth<\/a> isn\u2019t really something that anyone would think of when it comes to making changes, omissions, and additions to their diet or nutrition plan, but believe it or not, bone broth can be a genuinely amazing way to provide a boosting supplement to the body with a range of vital minerals that are often found to be absent from the diet of most people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list of minerals includes things like magnesium, sulfur, and calcium, with a few others thrown in for good measure. These minerals can help with pain relief in the affected compartment.

5. Try dry needling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dry needling is another option that people may want to try it out in their quest to find effective treatment methods for dealing with CRPS. For many people, it would be fair to say that the very thought of needles entering the skin<\/a>, even really shallowly, can be the straw that breaks the camel\u2019s back and can be far too much to deal with when you\u2019re already in a considerable amount of pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This said, dry needling really can be very effective when it comes to helping bring about a reduction in the pain that a person may already be feeling on a regular, everyday daily basis. Dry needling specifically focuses on the body\u2019s trigger points in order to help reduce pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reduction in pain can give a person a much bigger range of movement in the affected limb and ease of motion and functionality across the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. See a Physiotherapist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some people with CRPS mistakenly think that they are beyond the help of a physiotherapist<\/a>, given that the source of their pain is from an old injury or an injury that at least healed thoroughly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They believe that in going to a physiotherapist they will be wasting everyone\u2019s time. This is far from true as a good physiotherapist will have a range of ways to help a person recover from a range of pain issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a physiotherapist can\u2019t bring about an end to a person\u2019s pain, they will at least be able to offer some advice on things like exercise, functionality and stretches to do to help provide even a little relief to the symptoms of CRPS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t head to a physiotherapist expecting overnight success, but definitely plan for an improvement in your situation, as long as you\u2019re prepared to do the homework. Choosing a physiotherapist can be tricky, so make sure you do your research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Try Essential Oils<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There really isn\u2019t any getting away from it, the fact is that absolutely everyone these days seems to be caught up in the craze about those nifty little essential oils<\/a>. As they are natural, as well as being highly concentrated, essential oils have clearly been directly extracted from flowers, leaves, and from fruit, bark, seeds or roots.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essential oils are used nowadays, as they have been used for centuries now, in order to address a range of different things around the home. In terms of a person struggling with a condition like CRPS, things like massages can be an effective way to get some relief via the use of essential oils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t tried essential oils yet in treating your CRPS, now could be the time as the market is awash with the different types and different strengths for you to try. Essential oils don\u2019t work for everyone but they do work for some people in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Get some exercise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This final point on the list of 8 potential home remedies for CRPS is something that will either delight or terrify a person, depending on which way they are inclined. Someone who likes physical activity may be jumping for joy in the realization that being active could potentially ease their symptoms, whereas someone who is more averse to movement may find themselves shuddering at the very suggestion that exercise is the answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A compromise has to be reached when it comes to using exercise <\/a>for pain relief, as CRPS sufferers will know that they can only bear so much. That said, the advice from doctors and medical professionals is to keep the body moving as much as possible, in order to stimulate the joints and muscles into normal, functional movement.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of people who claim that exercise is the best medicine in treating conditions like CRPS, but you really have to decide that for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
