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.

As youngsters move through middle childhood and become bigger, stronger, faster, and more aggressive, the incidence of injuries rises. Studies show that each year, 2 percent to 3 percent of 5 to 7 year-old experience injuries that require more than a few days of rest and recuperation; that figure increases to 5 percent to 10 percent among 9 and 10 year-olds.
