10 Most Painful Health Conditions a Person Can Have

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Although the name of this condition sounds bogus, the pain is all too real, typically occurring in one of the limbs after trauma or simple injury—even a run-of-the-mill twisted ankle or broken arm. The pain and swelling starts in a small area then spreads throughout the limb, causing it to feel “like a blow torch,” in the words of one sufferer.

“I saw a patient who came in on a winter day with one of his pant legs cut off,” says Kim. “Just having the material touch his skin brought about too much pain to bear.” Doctors aren’t sure why some people develop the condition, though they generally agree there’s a genetic component, and more women are affected than men. An intense combo of rehab, medications, and neuro-stimulation helps control the pain.
