Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, or CRPS, is a chronic condition where pain becomes far greater than expected, usually after an injury. Because it can change and worsen over time, early diagnosis and expert care play a vital role in recovery.

Symptoms

Symptoms include intense, ongoing pain in a limb, swelling, changes in skin colour or temperature, sensitivity to touch, and stiffness in the affected area.

Common Causes

CRPS often develops after an injury, surgery, or fracture, when the nervous system reacts in an unusual and exaggerated way.

Treatment and Process

Dr. Ritu Pauranik focuses on early, well-rounded care. Treatment usually combines medication, physiotherapy to keep the limb moving, and targeted nerve blocks that reduce pain and support rehabilitation. This multi-layered approach gives the best chance of improvement and helps prevent the condition from progressing.
