Description

- At least 50,000 new cases of CRPS are estimated to occur annually in the U.S. It affects children, teenagers, young and older adults. Females are three times more likely to develop the condition than males. It can develop from something as minor as a sprained ankle. - There's a new group now afflicted by CRPS: Iraq and Afghanistan U.S. war veterans who face pain syndrome complications long after their blast injuries have healed. - Increased media coverage of teenagers with CRPS and further advancements in treatment studies have accelerated since this book was first published in 2004. - Early diagnosis of the condition within the first three months of onset is critical, and yet awareness of the condition within the medical community is lacking. Sufferers and caregivers need to know about CRPS firsthand to act quickly. - The few other CRPS books on the market are either self-published memoirs or highly technical analyses. This book provides readers with an accessible, layperson approach to understanding CRPS with content and tone that falls between these extremes. - Includes extensive resource section for patients and caregivers, patients' testimonials, lists of creative exercises to help patients raise their minds beyond the pain, and interviews with medical professionals who treat CRPS/RSD patients
