Related to/Also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
Symptoms of CRPS
 CRPS is a chronic pain disorder, which can occur after trivial injury, often involving soft tissue around joints. The pain is extremely severe, and far outweighs that normally produced by tissue damage. It can go into spontaneous remission or be a long-lasting problem.
Types Type I - CRPS I, also known as RSD (when there is no identifiable nerve injury)
Type II - CRPS II is what used to be known as Causalgia (where there is an identifiable nerve injury)
