Unrelenting excruciating pain is the hallmark and primary symptom of CRPS. That pain is much worse than what would be expected from the initial injury that caused CRPS to develop. Many with CRPS also suffer from allodynia (hypersensitivity to gentle touch) and hyperalgesia (increased response to a painful stimuli like a needle prick) in the affected area. CRPS is known to cause dramatic temperature changes with the affected area looking and internally feeling like its on fire but being much colder than other parts of the body. This is caused by vaso-motor constriction, which can lead to tissue damage and bone loss. Most people with CRPS feel more pain when faced with changes in temperature or barometric pressure. Often hair and nail growth changes. There can also be autoimmune-type symptoms such as fatigue, blurry vision, nausea, changes in body weight and appetite. Occasionally dystonia will accompany CRPS, causing painful, twisting spasms that lock joints at odd angles.
