Complex regional pain also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome — is an uncommon, chronic condition that usually affects your arm or leg. Rarely, the disease can affect other parts of your body. You may experience intense burning or aching pain along with swelling, skin discoloration, altered temperature, abnormal sweating and hypersensitivity in the affected area.

Complex Regional Pain occurs in two types, with similar signs and symptoms but different causes:

• Type I. also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, this type occurs after an illness or injury that didn't directly damage the nerves in your affected limb.
• Type II. Once referred to as causalgia, this type follows a distinct nerve injury. Signs and symptoms of both types of Complex Regional Pain vary in severity and duration.

The main symptom of Complex Regional Pain is intense pain, often described as "burning". Additional signs and symptoms include:

• Skin sensitivity.
• Changes in skin temperature, color and texture. At times your skin may be sweaty; at other times it may be cold. Skin color can range from white and mottled to red or blue. Skin may become tender, thin or shiny in the affected area.
• Changes in hair and nail growth.
• Joint stiffness, swelling and damage.
• Muscle spasms, weakness and loss (atrophy).
• Decreased ability to move the affected body part.
