Does anybody on here suffer from this?

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic progressive disease characterized by severe pain, swelling and changes in the skin. There is no cure. The International Association for the Study of Pain has divided CRPS into two types based on the presence of nerve lesion following the injury.

Type I, formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), Sudeck's atrophy, reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND) or algoneurodystrophy, does not have demonstrable nerve lesions.
Type II, formerly known as causalgia, has evidence of obvious nerve damage.
The cause of this syndrome is currently unknown. Precipitating factors include injury and surgery, although there are documented cases that have no demonstrable injury to the original site.

My husband has been diagnosed with this after badly spraining his ankle. Apparently the sheet touching his foot at night mad the skin feel like it is on fire.

He was given patches by the Dr that are a slow-release medication and last 4 days, between that and acupuncture the foot is getting better and the CRPS seems to be going away.

It has been nearly 7 weeks and although he can now wear shoes and walk (still with a decent limp). The ankle is still badly swollen. Hopefully there won't be long term effects with the CRPS.

Have you been diagnosed?

hi. thank you for that.
No a friend of mine had it about 10 years ago, and now has it back in another leg.
