Mysterious syndrome causes more pain than labor

Headaches and doctors are trying to decipher a mysterious syndrome, causing intense pain in people who are suffering and being described as even more horrible than women's labor and feelings when one person has amputated arms or legs.

People with complex pain syndrome (CRPS) often wake up in the morning with a severe pain, not disappearing immediately. CRPS often attacks the victim's arms, hands, feet and feet, and sometimes appear after a minor injury like a bruise.

Alexandra Annaloro, 21, an American suffering from a strange disease in her right leg. It was so painful that she couldn't walk more than 10 minutes. Sometimes, the pain was so severe that Annaloro's legs became shaky, out of control and made her cry.

Because there are no obvious triggers, it is difficult for doctors to diagnose the disease. Still, researchers say, CRPS is a disease of the nervous system , causing nerves to start sending pain signals constantly to the brain.

Based on the McGill pain index, which doctors used to measure patients' pain levels, CRPS syndrome has a very high position, with a score of 42/50, higher than both labor and pain due to being cut. amputated hands or feet.

This mysterious disease can attack anyone, anywhere and anytime. Doctors have recorded cases of 2-year-old children with CRPS and women at risk of developing this syndrome 4 times higher than men.

According to experts, medicine is almost "hands-on" for CRPS because it often does not respond positively to any treatment. CRPS will generally deteriorate over time and may spread to other areas of the body. However, sometimes the disease can relieve itself, temporarily or permanently.

Currently doctors are trying many different treatments, including painkillers, botox injections into the muscles, spinal cord stimulation and various forms of psychotherapy and hypnosis.
