Diagnosed after a "simple" bunion surgery. I wouldnt wish this on even the worst of people.

I specialize in the treatment of patients with crps: generally, about 50% of my caseload will be crps with the rest split between other chronic pain conditions and "typical" orthopedic issues.

I appreciate the spotlight here on this condition, I feel that it's vital that more therapists become aware of crps and can be allies to this terribly underserved population. As physios, we have a unique opportunity to help these people to become whole once again, but we can't do that if we aren't prepared to accept and rise to that challenge first.

Hello everyone. I have CRPS Typ 1. There is a therapy called Axomera. It was developed in Germany. It helped me a lot. I did it around 20 times, but I think it is only available in Germany, maybe Europe. I hope you will find a way to feel better soon. 🙏🏻 It is a horrible disease. Don’t give up. ❤️

I've had CRPS since 2004 due to human bite to hand (an unprovoked attack). It has since spread to both arms and legs. barometric pressure affects me, there are times when things I'm holding fall out of my hand without me sensation. Do you have pictures of CRPS in people of color?

Great video, just one remark from a MD like me...painful mobilization early acc. to the Macedonia approach needs not to be forgotten ...

I am convinced my husband has this, how can I get GP/ consultants to consider this as a possibility?

[nitaonstad]

Has anyone here seen or worked with a Physiatrist before?

My CRPS is from a thalamic stroke, left hand. The pain is so bad it's eating me alive.

after I got hit by a car 8 years ago, my hand has crps. I seen a surgeon and he said he didn't want to touch it because it could get worse. The pain is like electricity going through my hand or like fire burning my ulnar nerve.
