Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy of the Upper Limb
Algodystrophy of the upper limb, also known as complex regional pain syndrome, is a condition in which an arm or a hand has disproportionate and persistent pain, frequently after an injury, fracture, or surgery.
Common symptoms: pain that doesn't match the initial injury, along with skin changes, swelling, changes in temperature or color, and stiffness of the affected area.
When to see a doctor? If after a blow or a procedure the pain in the hand or arm persists and is accompanied by these changes, an early evaluation is worthwhile.
Which specialist treats it? The pain specialist and physical medicine and rehabilitation lead its management, with support from physical therapy, orthopedics, or neurology depending on the case. Raising these symptoms with a professional helps better guide the management.
