Explanation of Pain Syndromes

According to rsds.org, CRPS/RSD is a chronic neuro-inflammatory disorder.  Essentially these syndromes occur following some sort of traumatic injury.  There is underlying tissue damage which causes a chain reaction.   It causes both your immune system and your nervous system to function improperly.  The nervous system simply misfires and as a result, constant pain signals are sent to the brain.  CRPS-I or RSD is the classification given there is no confirmed injury to the nervous system.  CRPS-II is the classification when there is a confirmed injury to the nervous system.  Typically, the pain in victims is located in an extremity such as an arm, hand, foot, or parts of the leg.  There is no verified cause in the medical community because only a small percentage of patients that experience a trauma even develop a pain syndrome.  The best guess to a cause is simply damage to the nervous system.  The pain can be anywhere from barely existent to severe pain along with other symptoms.

What Are The Symptoms of CRPS and RSD Pain Syndromes?

There are a wide variety of symptoms that are associated with pain syndromes.  Some of the symptoms include:

  • Changes in skin color or other skin changes
  • The affected area changes temperature
  • Severe swelling
  • Decreased range of motion
  • Loss of muscle coordination
  • Burning sensations
  • High sensitivity to affected area

What Are The Causes of CRPS and RSD?

It is still not well understood what exactly causes these pain syndromes, but it is believed to because of a dysfunctional interaction between both the central and peripheral nervous systems.  This then causes an inappropriate inflammatory response.  Injuries which typically preface a pain syndrome include strains, sprains, injuries to soft tissue, broken bones, medical mistakes, and many other types where part of the body sustained a traumatic injury.  These syndromes are much more common in adults than any other age group.
