Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) was formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) until 1994. CRPS is a poorly understood medical condition where a person experiences persistent severe and debilitating pain usually in one limb, long after & more severe than the initial injury. CRPS can affect anyone, at any age, including children and adults.
For many people, CRPS begins in one limb, such as a hand, arm, foot, or leg, after an injury. In some cases, the symptoms can spread beyond the original area over time.
Over 15,000 people per year are diagnosed with CRPS every year in the UK and our website is here to provide more information about CRPS, living with it, managing it and supporting a loved one affected by this condition.
Developed using research and studies from across the UK and Worldwide, we have a number of pages and articles dedicated to information about Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
Living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome can affect many aspects of life, including mobility, independence, work, and emotional wellbeing. Persistent pain can also have an impact on mental health, and some people may experience anxiety, depression, or feelings of isolation as they try to cope with the condition. If you are struggling emotionally as a result of your CRPS, it is important to speak with your GP or healthcare team about available support, which may include counselling or psychological therapies that help with pain management and coping strategies. You can also access our counselling and befriending services that we have to offer. Learn more about the various psychological treatments available for CRPS via our CRPS blog series.
