Support CRPS Awareness Today!

Kiley Haberstroh, Marketing Assistant

November is the awareness month for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, or CRPS, where you can donate money and spread awareness for CPRS. CRPS is a form of chronic pain that usually affects an arm or a leg, but can reach any part of the body.

It is still not completely understood what the real cause is. CRPS is usually developed after an injury, surgery, stroke or a heart attack. However, in some cases, people can be born with it.  

According to Mayo Clinic, Some of the symptoms of CRPS are sensitivity to touch or coldness, swelling in the painful area, burning or throbbing pain, and muscle spasms. The symptoms always vary from person to person.

CRPS so far has no cure. Doctors still don’t have a full nonsense on CRPS, so the most they can do is treat it. A combination of medications or physical treatments can help lower the pain for patients.

People who suffer from CRPS go through many surgeries, frequent hospital visits, and numerous treatments.   

Doctors do an amazing job of taking care of each patient. They support the patients, along with family members and friends.

Since As November is CRPS Awareness Month, you can spread awareness or donate money to help find a cure. The website Donate for Crps allows participants to donate money– after all, anything can make a huge difference.

Make a change in the world today! Donate money and give off some support, because they are fighting through hard times like warriors.
