Stress & the Development of your CRPS
 

I know there isn't a 100% causative reason for people to develop crps and that stress is considered to play a part in its development.

I, like probably many of you, wonder why I developed this disease now. I've had cuts, 1 broken bone, lots of bruises, surgeries, etc. So why now did I come down with this?

One thing I can come up with is that I was under a lot of stress at the time I developed it.

Do many of you feel that stress played a part in the development of your crps?

Hey there! I have often wondered how this came to be, but I do not think that stress had anything to do with the development of my RSD/CRPS. I think stress might aggravate my existing condition. I was diagnosed 20 yrs ago and stress didn't come in to play until after the diagnosis. Same with the spreads, I stressed after that happened.

That's just me though.

Hi,

I won't say what the study is but I have been involved in the study of
a certain subject for forty years and I can tell you without question
within these years of study not only have I observed, but hundreds of
others who study the medical side of this science have observed that
yes indeed illiness can and does most often occur during periods of stress.
However, to prevent misunderstanding I am not saying stress is the cause
of CRPs any more than one can say stress is the cause of cancer. What
I am saying is most often it is during periods of stress both physical and
emotional that any illiness manifests. Furthermore it is true while each
of us are different and each of our bodies are different, each of our
bodies are vunerable or at risk to develop a specific medical conditions
but that medical condition does not manifest because the mind and body
is being kept within a fair balance, be what ever in each case, but the
period of extreme stress both physical and emotional weakens the body.
lowers our immune systems and triggers the medical condition for which
the body has been vunerable and at risk to develop. :hug:
