Common CRPS Symptoms in the Workplace

  • Chronic pain: CRPS is characterized by persistent and often excruciating pain that can severely hinder your daily activities. This pain can arise from minor workplace injuries where the long-term damage is not immediately apparent. 
  • Swelling and inflammation: A common symptom of CRPS,  swelling and inflammation can lead to stiffness and reduced range of motion, making it difficult to perform tasks that require fine motor skills. The swelling may fluctuate, complicating your treatment.
  • Sensitivity to touch: People with CRPS often experience extreme sensitivity, where even light touch can cause severe discomfort. This heightened sensitivity can disrupt typical workplace interactions and the use of standard equipment. 
  • Temperature changes: CRPS can cause unusual temperature fluctuations in the affected area, ranging from hot and sweaty to cold and clammy. Monitoring and managing temperature changes are essential for symptom control.
  • Muscle weakness: Muscle atrophy and weakness are common as CRPS progresses, complicating physical tasks. This weakness often necessitates adjustments in work duties or the use of assistive devices. Early intervention and physical therapy are often vital. 
  • Joint stiffness: Stiffness in the joints due to CRPS can impede your movement and flexibility, making it challenging to perform routine job functions. This symptom can lead to increased fatigue and frustration in the workplace. 
  • Emotional distress: The chronic nature of CRPS can lead to significant emotional and psychological distress, including anxiety and depression. There will likely be a need for a comprehensive treatment plan, including therapy and counseling.

Medical Evaluations in Workers’ Comp Cases

Medical evaluations play a pivotal role in the workers' compensation claims process, as they determine the severity of an injury and the necessary treatment. However, these evaluations can be a source of contention, particularly when the assessment is conducted by a company-appointed physician who may be biased toward minimizing the claim. Discrepancies between different medical opinions can lead to disputes that complicate the claim and perhaps lead to its denial. 

Kiwan & Chambers APC can provide invaluable assistance in these situations. We’ll advise you on whether to seek a second opinion from an independent medical professional.
