CRPS: Causes, Symptoms, And More Explained
According to Mayo Clinic, CRPS is a kind of chronic pain that happens in the arm or leg and it happens usually after a stroke, heart attack, and surgery. The cause remains unknown as the problem is very rare.
There can be various symptoms of the disease. This includes pain in the arm, leg, hand, and foot, sensitivity to touch or cold, swelling in the painful area, and changes in skin temperature, color, texture, and hair and nail growth. The symptoms could differ from person to person.
CRPS can be prevented if individuals take a high dose of vitamin C. It can also be prevented by those suffering a stroke if they take a walk after getting out of bed.
