Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that most often affects the arms or legs. It is also known by other names, including:
Painful Sensitivity – Allodynia

Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy refers to nerve damage caused by diabetes Mellitus type 1 or type 2, but is more common in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Thumb Pain
Thumb pain is a common issue that can result from a variety of conditions. It can affect the base of the thumb, the thumb joint, or the surrounding tissues causing pain, swelling, and decreased strength and range of motion. Common causes of thumb pain include arthritis, tendinitis, and injuries such as sprains or fractures.
Arm Pain – Radial Nerve: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Radial nerve pain (radial neuropathy) happens when the radial nerve, which travels from the upper arm to the hand and controls both movement and sensation, becomes compressed, irritated, or injured. This can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and difficulty moving the wrist, fingers, or arm.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is an injury that causes pain and inflammation in your elbow. It’s usually a repetitive strain injury linked to repeated motions of the wrist and arm.
