A member asked:

Crp after foot fx/orif- burning pain, sensitivity, redness, red dots, dry skin. is crps the only diagnosis or could this be something else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Complex regional pa: This can occur. You can get a second opinion. A good website to look at is which is from the National Institue of Health: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/reflex_sympathetic_dystrophy/detail_reflex_sympathetic_dystrophy.htm Treatment includes medication,physical therapy, nerve blocks to name a few.
