Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) was previously known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD).  A diagnosis is often missed or delayed, despite clues such as sensitivity to touch and temperature changes, hair growth and hair, skin and nail changes. 

Some patients describe burning severe pain, pins and needles and muscle spasms. Often symptoms are worse at night but can be present all the time.

CRPS is very difficult to live with, as it not only causes physical and practical problems but psychological problems too. Being in constant pain can make you feel low and lead to depression and anxiety, which is made worse by a lack of sleep or the side effects from taking strong painkillers.
