Probably, yes: There are recorded cases of CPRS causing depression and anxiety - so panic is not unlikely. It's a very challenging condition with some hope for remission, but with many who see it spread. It is not easy. Loss of sleep on top of the pain and fear, the anger and sadness can be overwhelming. Do try to find quality emotional support. You'll do better with it than without. Do whatever you can. Best!
