I know two children who had CRPS but they had different symptoms. What are the symptoms of CRPS?

CRPS, or complex regional pain syndrome, most often happens after an injury of some sort - but not always. The injury doesn't have to be severe; it could be a sprain. The pain seems out of proportion to the injury and can get worse if the area is touched, however lightly. There can be swelling, excess sweating, and the skin color can seem bluish or quite red.
