Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Alternate Names : Causalgia, CRPS, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome, RSDS, Shoulder-Hand Syndrome, Sudeck's Atrophy
Prognosis (Expectations)
The outlook is better with an early diagnosis. If the condition is recognized within the first stage, sometimes it may go into remission and normal movement will be possible with minimal changes. However, if it is not diagnosed quickly, deteriorating changes in the bone and muscle may develop rapidly and become irreversible.
