Brian Barr Solicitors are leading specialist lawyers who act for CRPS sufferers throughout England and Wales.
What is CRPS?
CRPS (or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy as it is sometimes known), is caused by an injury to the sympathetic nerves, resulting in severe pain. For many people, the condition can be catastrophic, permanent and disabling. There is no known cure, although it is said that about 50% of patients can get better spontaneously.
What are the symptoms of CRPS?
Sufferers will generally experience pain that is worse than would be expected from such an injury. Many patients describe a severe burning pain, even though the part of the body that has been injured feels cold. There may be change in the temperature of the hand or foot and sensitivity even to light touch. Frequently, there will be swelling and a change in skin colour in the affected area.
