Millions of Americans suffer from complex regional pain syndrome, a chronic and progressive neurological syndrome that develops after an injury or trauma to the body. If you suffer the painful symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome as a result of an accident that was caused by the negligent or reckless actions of another party, you should consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to protect your legal rights.
Defining Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that is a secondary effect of a trauma, generally caused by a serious accident. Most often, CRPS is a condition suffered by victims of catastrophic car accidents, truck accidents, slip or trip and fall accidents and workplace injuries, etc.
Symptoms of Complex Injury Syndrome (CRPS)
CRPS is a nerve injury. This condition generally affects the victim’s arms, hands, legs and feet. Common symptoms of CRPS include:
- Severe chronic pain
- Burning sensation
- Swelling and joint discomfort
- Spasms, weakness and atrophy in the muscles
Other common secondary conditions associated with CRPS may also include depression, anxiety and other similar mood disorders. There is no cure for CRPS and treatment is mostly focused on relieving the pain. Treatment may include physical and occupational therapy, psychological therapy and pain management. These treatments can be costly.
As such, if you or a loved one has developed CRPS as a result of an accident that was caused by another individual, you should hire a CRPS Attorney who will aggressively fight for your rights to get you the full extent of the compensation that you deserve.
