Specializes in Pain Management

CRPS: Crps is a very perplexing condition. There is still so much we do not understand. I am sure that there are hormonal, stress and dietary factors that exacerbate the symptoms. Spend some time trying to figure out what factors trigger your symptoms. Hope this helps.
