Few doctors are familiar with it, and even fewer patients recognize the symptoms. As a result, getting an accurate diagnosis is challenging, and finding effective treatment can be even harder.<\/p>\n<h2>What is CRPS?<\/h2>\n<p>\nCRPS is ranked among the most painful conditions on a pain scale developed by Canadian doctors Dr. Velasco and Dr. McGill. This 50-point scale ranges from 0 (no pain) to 50 (maximum pain). CRPS scores 46 points, while limb amputation scores 39, and chronic migraine 29.\n<\/p>\n<p>Pain from CRPS typically affects a limb and may occur after:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: inside; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 15px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 5px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;\">An injury such as a fracture or dislocation<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 5px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;\">Poorly performed surgery<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 5px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal;\">Stroke or heart attack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nIn <strong>90% of cases (CRPS type 1)<\/strong>, CRPS occurs without direct nerve damage. Early diagnosis and treatment within the first three months significantly improve outcomes.<br \/>\n<strong>CRPS type 2<\/strong>, which occurs in 10% of patients, involves nerve damage and is considered incurable.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more about diagnosis and treatment options on our dedicated page:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/pdrehab.com\/what-we-treat\/complex-regional-pain-syndrome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\nPhysical Therapy for CRPS<br \/>\n<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<h2>CRPS Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>CRPS is often disproportionate to the original injury.
