For months, Amber searched for answers as she dealt with the excruciating pain. Doctors initially dismissed her symptoms as being caused by stress or anxiety. However, after undergoing various tests and consultations with different specialists, she was finally diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

However, she still experiences flare-ups and has to be cautious in her daily activities to avoid triggering her symptoms. Her story serves as a reminder that sometimes, it takes time and persistence to find the right diagnosis and treatment for rare conditions like CRPS.
