RSD/CRPS

Unusually persistent pain, weather sensitive pain, skin color changes, swelling, abnormal sweating, and pain to what is usually a non-painful stimulus are all signs of  Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), also known as Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).  RSD/CRPS  almost always begins after an identifiable event such as a crush injury, torn ligament, or fracture.

Less severe forms of RSD also exist and in these cases sympathetic pain can occur even in the absence of injury.  RSD is difficult to diagnose and increasing awareness about RSD can help those with lingering pain after an injury to get treatment.
