Complex regional pain syndrome (formerly called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy — RSD) most frequently results as a complication arising from surgery or from a serious industrial injury, such as a crush injury.
Symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) can include:
- Extreme pain or burning
- Swelling
- Fluctuating skin temperature
- Skin discoloration
- Sensitivity to cold or touch
- Joint stiffness
- Various other symptoms
While complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) typically affects the extremities — arms, legs, feet or hands — it is possible for the condition to lead to other significant medical issues. For example, our law firm successfully represented a client suffering from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) as a result of an industrial accident in which his foot was crushed. Eventually his condition escalated to the point that a spinal cord implant was necessary. Our thorough and diligent approach to his case enabled us to maximize the workers’ compensation benefits received.
