Default CRPS playing up due to...wait for it...
A paper cut! That's right, a paper cut.

I got a paper cut on my cripsy hand and now my hand is extra swollen and extra painful. It also seems to have turned the gas right up in my wrist which now has burning so intense that it almost feels icy. It is not a full-on flare up so I shouldn't complain but seriously, it is just a silly paper cut.

I get worn out and feeling like I'm burning up just by doing a small amount of physical exursion. I feel so damn useless at times!

Vrae, you just have to laugh, eh?

It bled quite a bit for a paper cut. I'm not sure it that is CRPS related.

Unusual amounts of bleeding could be a side effect of RSD. It was explained to me once that our blood is thin at times.
I bleed easily too...

Tough break, Kim! That's just awful.
My CRPS nightmare started because of a laser tag injury...seriously, I have to tell top notch MGH neurologists that I'm disabled due to a game where you shoot fake laser beams at your friends in a fog-filled blacklight maze. It's written in my file. "Patient was playing what she calls 'laser tag' when inversion sprain occured." Guess we need to find the silly in the pain.

once we have this the slightest trauma can cause it to spread, specialist touched my arm with sensitivity pin 4ins outside the affected area and it spread from below wrist right upto elbow.

Wow, that just stinks. I have a hard enough time explaining my CRPS to people and my precipitating event was surgery. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to explain that yours started with a sprain.

Thanks folks. Things have pretty much gotten back to 'normal' now. It wasn't really a big deal, it was just ridiculous. I didn't even bother telling anyone except my husband and my cripsy friends here. Who else would understand? I think if I told people that my pain ratcheted up because of a paper cut, they would just think I'm nuts.
