We understand and appreciate your frustration. Chronic pain conditions can be very debilitating. For most of us, going from an active lifestyle to one constantly changed by pain can be very upsetting.
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is not well understood. We do know it occurs after trauma or an injury of some kind. Doctors think it could be something that runs in families. Sometimes it occurs in an injured arm or leg that has been immobile in a cast or sling for a long time. Possibly stress has a key role in its development.
