Complex Regional Pain syndrome (CPRS) is a term describing chronic pain in the arms or legs that can occur after an injury, surgery, or other trauma to the limb.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) can either be acute or chronic. It can either resolve on its own with short-term treatment or can become a long-term issue.
The pain doctors at Greater Austin Pain Center are happy to offer interventional treatments to help alleviate pain caused by Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in Kyle, Texas. Complex regional pain syndrome is best treated with a combination of physical therapy, medications, and certain interventional treatments, and can be effectively treated with spinal cord stimulation or a more specific form of nerve stimulation, known as DRG (dorsal root ganglion) stimulation.
CRPS can occur after any type of trauma to a limb and can be hard to predict. The reason behind why certain patients develop CRPS and others don’t is still poorly understood. It is important to seek early treatment if you think you are experiencing symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome.

Not necessarily. It is still poorly understood why certain patients develop CRPS after limb injuries.
Ongoing burning and/or pain in the limb, swelling, sensitivity to light touch, and limited range of motion are early symptoms of CRPS. In later stages the limb may become pale or blue, experience hair/nail growth changes, or begin losing muscle. In severe cases CRPS can even spread to other areas of the body, including the opposite arm or leg.
Yes, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome can be treated. If treatment is provided early, there is a good change of reversing the course of CRPS and preventing further involvement of the limb.
