CRPS / RSD Debilitates Millions of Americans
CRPS is a common injury type suffered from an accident throughout the United States and more specifically in New York. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a chronic pain condition most often affecting one of the limbs or extremities – the arms, legs, hands, or feet – usually after an injury or trauma to that limb or extremity. The most common CRPS / RSD triggers include fractures, sprains and strains, soft tissue injury (such as burns, cuts or bruises), limb immobilization (such as being in a cast), and surgical or medical procedures.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), CRPS develops in roughly 12 to 21% of patients with hemiplegia, a form of paralysis that affects one side of the body. The NINDS also suggests the condition occurs as a complication in 2 to 5% of patients with peripheral nerve injury. It is believed that millions of Americans may experience the debilitating symptoms of CRPS. CRPS can strike at any age and affects both sexes, although it is more common in women.
