Numerous symptoms often exist concurrently with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), many of which may not be commonly associated with it or may be treated as separate issues.
These symptoms may be experienced in addition to the most common or obvious symptoms associated with CRPS.
You may suffer from just a few, or if you are unlucky, from a long list of these.
First, it’s important to understand the crucial role our cranial nerves play in our bodies and how a malfunction can contribute to a great deal of CRPS symptoms.
The cranial nerves are twelve pairs of nerves on the ventral (bottom) surface of the brain. These nerves control a lot of important things, and their purpose is mainly to connect you with the world around your body. Think of these nerves as your nervous system’s front door to the world. These nerves allow you to hear, see, taste, and smell. Some of these nerves bring information from the sense organs to the brain. Some control muscles; others are connected to glands or internal organs such as the heart and lungs. One of the main functions of these nerves, in our caveman days and still today, is to perceive danger. We do this through our sensory nervous system. The cranial nerves in almost every CRPS patient show abnormalities.
