Complex Regional Pain

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a condition that can affect your legs, feet, arms, or hands. This condition is typically caused by problems in the central nervous system, and usually develops after an injury, surgery, or heart attack, and is most commonly found in women around 40 years old. Symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome can include a burning or intense pain, pain throughout an entire limb, sensitivity to touch, swelling, stiff or achy joints, or even involuntary jerking.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome has two types:

• Type I: occurs in people who had an injury or illness where nerves were NOT damaged
• Type II: occurs in people who had an injury or illness where nerves WERE damaged

If you suffer from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, it may be time to see a ECPC specialist. Receiving treatment can significantly decrease and potentially remove any related pain.
