Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Pain, Patient Care TeamAbstract
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy is a rare condition, characterized by continuous painful and disabling conditions. The present study described clinical data of a 37-year-old male patient who, in childhood, after trauma to the lower limb, presented with continuous, high-intensity and progressive pain. It took 20 years without diagnosis and treatment, causing symptoms to radiate to all limbs, difficulty walking and weekly exacerbations. During monitoring by a multidisciplinary team, a patient was found to be bedridden, obese, with neuropathic pain, depressed, with decreased muscle mass and strength and dependent on assistance to meet his physiological needs. After follow-up, there was a significant improvement in his clinical condition and, consequently, in his quality of life. Considering that the disease is poorly understood and difficult to diagnose, it is important to report the case for better understanding by health professionals.
