What is crps
Definition: CRPS, or complex regional pain syndrome, is another term for reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). CRPS is a chronic pain condition that causes swelling, redness and pain, usually in the hands and/or feet. The cause of CRPS is a bit of a mystery, though it may be a result of dysfunction either in the sympathetic nervous system (neuropathic pain) or the immune system. CRPS may also be triggered by other conditions, such as stroke.
