Now disabled due to massive neuropathic damage & Systemic CRPS (Type II)
The condition used to be known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy, but the name was changed when more was discovered about the possible causes of CRPS. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, RSD, is now referred to as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, CRPS.
CRPS is a progressive disease of the Autonomic Nervous System whose pain is characterized as constant, extremely intense, and out of proportion to the original injury. The pain is typically accompanied by swelling, skin changes, sensitivity, and can often be debilitating. It usually affects one or more of the four limbs but can occur in any part of the body.
CRPS is ranked as the most painful form of chronic pain that exists today by the McGill Pain Index.
