Complex Regional Pain

Learn about complex regional pain symptoms and why a detailed history and examination are important when pain persists after injury or surgery.

When Pain Persists Beyond the Expected Recovery

Complex regional pain can involve persistent limb pain together with sensitivity and changes in swelling, skin temperature, color, sweating, or movement. It may develop after an injury, procedure, or other physical event.

Symptoms can change over time and overlap with other conditions, making a detailed history and physical examination especially important.

Recommendations are based on the individual presentation and may include diagnostic or therapeutic interventions when clinically appropriate.
