Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is not a terminal illness. However, the consequences if left untreated can severely damage a patient’s mental health and prognosis.
CRPS has been referred to as a suicide disease. The symptoms caused by this condition can lead to depression, suicidal ideation, and other conditions that lead to death.
This is one critical reason that patients must seek medical care as soon as possible for treatment. In addition, in a few severe cases, the systemic systems associated with it may lead to death. For example, CRPS may cause cardiac dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, and GI dysfunction, ultimately incompatible with life.
