CRPS in two places?
In 2024, I sustained chemical burns to both of my hands (palm side only). I started to immediately experience nerve related symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning pain, and itching. Over the next two years, symptoms progressed in both hands. I started having sensitivity to temperatures, different textures and unusual sweating. Then in June 2025, I fainted without any reason. I assumed this was unrelated. Cardiology cleared me but did note I had some tachycardia. I started to notice more and more pre-syncope episodes occurring and eventually underwent full autonomic testing. Results came back abnormal with possible small fiber neuropathy, but no other real diagnoses.
I was finally referred to orthopedics this week. The doctor noted symptoms are non classic and pattern is not following the typical progression, but that I do meet Budapest Criteria for CRPS. I’m still being evaluated by neurology for Small Fiber Neuropathy, pending a biopsy.
Has anyone experienced or heard of something similar where two areas of the body were injured and both areas seem to be developing CRPS?
