Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy 🎗️

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome - Type 1 (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy)

CRPS occurs as a result of dysfunction in your central or peripheral nervous systems. Your central nervous system consists of your brain and spinal cord. Your peripheral nervous system relays information from your brain and spinal cord to your organs, arms, legs, fingers and toes. The abnormal functioning results in an overreaction to pain signals that your nervous system can’t shut off. The resulting pain feels like fire that cannot be put out.

CRPS is considered the most painful condition known to humans.
