CRPS awareness month has been going on around the world for over 22 years, to try and raise awareness for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) formerly Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy or RSD. The more people including the general public, medical/healthcare and legal professionals are made aware of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, will help all those living with the chronic condition to get diagnoses quicker and treatment started sooner. If we as a CRPS charity can help just 1 (one) person affected by this chronic condition or make 1 person aware of the effects of CRPS then we have made a difference. So how can YOU help us to raise awareness for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
