Oakland, California (September 17, 2013) – In a blog post on their website, the Oakland personal injury attorneys at the Mastrangelo Law Offices explain what Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CPRS) is. The firm also offers assistance and representation in cases involving this condition.

Often referred to as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) Syndrome, CPRS is believed by medical professionals to be a result of a dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems. Symptoms include changes in skin color and temperature, intense burning pain, skin sensitivity, sweating, and swelling. This often occurs after an accident or injury. CPRS I may be triggered by a tissue injury, while CPRS II is often associated with a nerve injury.

After an injury, especially when nerve damage is not properly diagnosed and treated, a person may experience the symptoms mentioned even months after the accident. Additionally, he may also have pathological changes in the bones. The symptoms might get worse over time, so therapy is recommended to prevent the progress of the condition.

CRPS does not have an actual cure so most insurance companies tend to ignore the issue in the hope of the getting the matter dropped. However, a competent Oakland accident attorney may help an injured person have his rights recognized and seek a good treatment.

In some cases, the insurance companies may send money. That money may not be enough to cover your real expenses. When you are injured in an Accident, having an experienced attorney on your side helps ensure that your rights are protected and the amount is a just compensation for all the inconveniences the condition has caused. If you are not sure if you need a lawyer and you have been in an accident, you probably do. Call the Mastrangelo Law Offices for a free consultation.
