CRPS Complex Regional Pain Syndrome prognosis

It’s a dehabilitating condition for which their is no cure. It can spread from one region of the body to another.
It can be managed by medication, meditation,CBT, mindfulness.

The prognosis varies. There are studies that show the younger you are and the sooner it is diagnosed the more favorable the outcome can be. There is no cure, however it can go into a remission. It is a chronic condition.
For me, when I first round out I had RSD/CRPS, I was told repeatedly...This is a "move it or lose it" condition. Every Specialist strongly advised no matter how much it hurts....move! I was severely affected, with horrific pain and limited range of motion in my right hand and all of the way across to my left side of my neck. I had to learn to use my left hand for everything. With the help of what most believe is an excessive amount of pain medication, I was able to get up and will myself to kick this condition in the rear. I am so proud that for many year's, I was able to live a reasonably healthy life. I got to where I could use my right hand again. I made goals for myself to find enjoyable ways to bring back movement. An example is I took up guitar playing to learn fine motor skills again. My motto was...adapt. In the back of my mind, there was the ever present thought that this will probably progress and spread to other parts of my body. I squeezed as many happy moments that I could do that when and if it worsened I would not have regrets. Well, it has gotten far worse and spread. My life has become mentally, and physically pronouncly limited. I still am not ready to give in. I have to remember any success is a good success. And that no matter what...I have been lucky. I want people with this to know, we can be stronger than we realize!!!!

The prognosis is not good for most. Life is very painful and filled with a lot of medical treatments and medication. Often end up with secondary issues and this is a progressive condition that can only get worse without treatments either natural or medical of some kind. Yes, it can get better if the right treatment is found but there is no cure.

Crps os chronic
It feels progressive in that it can spread to other limbs. And also can affect other organs.


But it isn't progressive in sense it will out right kill you. It just feels like it

This disease can cause completely different feelings of pain, severity, as well as a very different level of pain in race person. How quickly crps is diagnosed and treated also has a large part to do with prognosis.
An individual’s level of Stress effects CRPS more than most illnesses.

Don't know quite honestly. Keeping healthy is vital. It is not say like Parkinson's Disease or MS which often leads to the from complications which do kill such as pneumonia.
