A little girl has been left in constant agony for two years after she used a hot tub.
Poppy Flambert, 12, lives in severe pain every day - with the pain so chronic that at times she has to use a wheelchair and she can only attend school part-time. Her mum Georgina Flambert said that - after she developed a skin infection on her toe from using a hot tub - the youngster was prescribed antibiotics.
Speaking to Wales Online, Georgina said: "It started to get a bit better and she wacked her toe with a really hard ball and that really hurt, but it did no damage. And from there it didn’t get better. It got more and more painful, we didn’t understand why she was screaming in pain. She could not put her foot down. The doctors did not know what was wrong."
After a while, Poppy was sent to the hospital for further tests, but doctors there could not explain what was causing this extreme pain until a consultant suggested it could be complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
According to the NHS, CRPS is a poorly-understood condition where a person experiences persistent severe and debilitating pain. Most cases are triggered by an injury and the pain usually only affects one limb but it can spread to other parts of the body. The skin of the area affected can also become sensitive to touch. It can improve over time, but for some people with CRPS, they can experience the pain for many years.
CRPS is the body's way of reacting abnormally to an injury - and Georgina said that the way it has been explained to her is related to how the brain sends signals to your body when it is hurt. With CRPS, your brain is constantly sending those pain signals, so despite their being no physical injury, your brain thinks it is in pain.
