Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

In my practice role (2006-2013) at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases, I worked with people who were learning to live with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). This is a chronic pain condition characterized by excessive pain that is disproportionate to the initial injury. Chronic CRPS can be both distressing and debilitating and has a considerable impact on the lives of both the person with CRPS and those closest to them. Since leaving practice I have continued to research and write about CRPS and have developed a variety of resources that might be helpful including leaflets and a book.
