- Title
Living with skin complications from complex regional pain syndrome.
- Authors
ABBOTT-FLEMING, VICTORIA
- Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a poorly understood neuropathic condition that can lead to skin breakdown, ulceration and oedema. It is easy to misdiagnose and challenging to treat, as CRPS also impedes healing. Chronic therapy-resistant CRPS can cause irreversible skin breakdown and/or ulceration, resulting in amputation. Here, Victoria Abbott-Fleming, CRPS patients and founder of the charity Burning Nights CRPS Support, shares her story to help raise awareness of this little-known condition.
