What is CRPS?

Complex regional pain syndrome  (CRPS) is a neuropathic pain condition that can often be challenging to diagnose and even more challenging to treat. It is a condition in which the patient feels a response to an injury-producing painful experience over and over again, at the same level of acuity as if the painful event had just happened. It is considered by most to be a multisymptom, multisystem syndrome, usually affecting one or more areas, but mainly the extremities. An understanding of the history of how the syndrome’s diagnostic criteria evolved will help to clarify the vital importance of making the right diagnosis at the right time.

For some patients, living with CRPS may seem like continuous torture. Very often, the instinctive response is to avoid moving the affected body part(s). If the symptoms do not improve, further complications can develop. The ongoing severe pain and eventual disability that usually accompanies CRPS can also understandably lead to a higher risk of psychological comorbidity, such as depression, anxiety, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Ironically, since the signs and symptoms of CRPS can be so unusual and variable over time, and since, on presentation, they may no longer be linked to a specific pain-provoking event, there may be a lack of understanding that this is a true medical problem.

My PAIN Level & Brief History:

I have come a long way, from Being Injured back in 1997

as 2015 has been a fantastic year, however I still deal with Major Chronic Pain flair ups in the afternoon.  Back in 2012 my pain hit it's peak with a Pain Score of 1/10 my average was 8+ for most of the day along with being very medicated forcing me to work from home.

Example the Level of Pain
The only way to explain the Pain is to emagine hitting your finger with a Hammer and then that pain does not go away as it moved from my knees into a whole body pain flair ..

Currently, I have reduced most of my medications and have switched over to more suppliments along with weekly chiropractor visits at Advanced Sports & Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture  in Overland Park Kansas

Current Chiropractor Treatments:
- Start with Massage Table
- Lowforce Chiropractic Techniques
- Cold Laser Therapy- class IV laser  

Daily Health Walk
Another thing I have started doing is back in 2014, I challanged myself to try to one day get to walking 1 mile again, since then I have been able to go from 1 mile a day to now almost 13 Thousands a day tracked with the Google Moto360 Smart Watch :)

I still have major pain, however with dedicated exersise I feel like I am making a comeback.

My Short Story: (Getting Injured on the Job)

I was doing what we all do ... Go to school get a great education, figure out what you want to be and then do it. So I when to college to become a Firefighter that is all I focused on Medical and Fire Technology.. And then my life took a different turn, who would know a simple ski injury could have changed a persons life forever..


I blew out my right knee as I was on payroll for ski instruction and the child I had been given that day early could not stop, yet I found myself getting this child again later on in the day however this time this little girl was going to a beginner chair lift now vs. just the carpet they walk up and down and slide and stop ... So now she really has to understand how to stop for SAFTY.. Right


Well, I argued with my supervisor about fear of her not being able to stop strong as well the additional stress of the fact it was the end of the day and the child never was able to make it out to the mountain.. So I was instructed to take her up along with the 8 or so other kids I had including a helper instructor in the back to keep everyone in line.. Normal stuff, Right.. Kids falling over and standing up and then we get them in a train going down the hill with a little snow pie shape slowing their speed as they go down the mountain.. So this little girl was right up front with me since she was new in the pack..


The problem here was that "THE Beginner Chair Lift was Broke" so we were taking a intermediate skill run to cross over to the beginner once we got off the chair.. And we made sure all the kids understood the drill, however we had another domino fall over and as we started to pick up the kids... THIS LITTLE GIRL started flying down the wrong way towards the intermediate and advanced runs, so Just as she was getting away from me I said to my assistant manage the class to the bottom and we will meet there.


So I caught up to her as we were now traveling as fast as I would if I was racing, however in this case the LITTLE GIRL could not stop and I could not catch her.. We were running out of space because see was going straight for a big wall of trees with no helmet on. I had to do something fast so when I caught up to her I pushed her down as we learn in Ski School Training and she fell perfect with no injuries with only maybe 5 ft before we would of hit the trees.. "I don't want to think of how things could have been if I didn't catch her..


Anyhow at that moment my life would have been changed for ever... So in 1998 was the beginning of a very long journey though living with PAIN.
