Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) of the lower limb is a relatively uncommon entity as compared to CRPS of the upper extremity. Literature search has revealed only 2 retrospective case series and a single case report of lower extremity CRPS type I from 1975 to 2014 on Pubmed, isolated cases of CRPS type I of lower extremity have also been reported following knee surgeries and arthroscopies. This report presents a case of lower limb CRPS type I following blunt trauma to right foot, treatment of which was directed towards management of allodynia, vasomotor symptoms and surgical correction of deformity which had developed because of the disease, coping mechanisms were also reinforced through counselling and relaxation training. The individual responded well to treatment with a reported 75% reduction in the disabling symptoms and improvement in ambulatory status.
