What is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
After an injury to the nervous system, a person may develop a relatively rare but serious condition known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). This condition is characterized by severe pain and other health problems around the site of the injury. However, these symptoms can spread into other areas of the body as well. Managing complex regional pain syndrome is possible but often costly.
If you or someone you love has been injured and developed CRPS as a result, you may be legally eligible to fight for compensation for your treatment and recovery costs. To discuss these options in further detail with an experienced legal advisor, contact a Denver accident attorney from Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., today at (303) 423-1770.
Symptoms of CRPS
Complex regional pain syndrome may manifest in a number of ways. These symptoms are often manageable through a variety of treatment options, but they can still cause severe pain or debilitating health concerns. Symptoms of CRPS include the following:
- Severe, shooting pain at the site of the injury
- Reddening of the skin around the injury
- High sensitivity to touch
- Significant changes in skin temperature around the injury
- Bone softening
- Difficulty moving the affected area
- Joint stiffness
- Muscle spasms
If the injury that caused your CRPS was the result of another person’s negligence, you may be able to seek compensation for the full range of expenses linked to your injury and CRPS.
