Can CRPS Develop Outside the Arms and Legs?

Our pain doctors answer real patient questions about Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in this new mini episode of The Pain Diaries Podcast.

Most people think Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) only affects the arms or legs. While that’s the most common pattern, CRPS can sometimes show up in other parts of the body too; including the abdomen, pelvis, or trunk.

This can be confusing and frustrating, because pain in these areas is often assumed to come from other causes. That’s why CRPS outside the limbs can be harder to diagnose and may take longer to recognise.

Our Melbourne pain doctors explain what signs to look out for, how CRPS differs from other types of nerve pain, and why timing matters.
