Causalgia is technically known as complex regional pain syndrome type II (CRPS II). It's a neurological disorder that can produce long-lasting, intense pain. CRPS II arises after an injury or trauma to a peripheral nerve. Peripheral nerves run from your spine and brain to your extremities.
CRPS type I requirements feature causation by an initiating noxious event, such as a crush or soft tissue injury; or by immobilization, such as a tight cast or frozen shoulder. CRPS type II is characterized by the presence of a defined nerve injury.
What is Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) Syndrome? RSD is an older term used to describe one form of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Both RSD and CRPS are chronic conditions characterized by severe burning pain, most often affecting one of the extremities (arms, legs, hands, or feet).

Arm paresthesia is a sensation of tingling (feeling of “pins and needles”) or burning in the arm that occurs without stimulation. It can result from a previous arm injury or pressure on a nerve in the arm. Other causes include damage to nerves in the arm from exposure to extreme heat or cold or to toxic compounds.
CRPS is divided into two groups: Type 1: Also called sympathetic dystrophy, which develops without known nerve damage. Type 2: Also called causalgia, which is the result of specific nerve damage.
CRPS occurs in two types, with similar signs and symptoms, but different causes:Type 1. Also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), this type occurs after an illness or injury that didn't directly damage the nerves in the affected limb. ... Type 2.
Pain is the clinical feature that is considered the hallmark of CRPS and is the problem that prompts the patient to seek treatment. The pain may cause mobility problems disproportionate to the injury itself. All tactile stimulation to the skin is painful (hyperes thesia).
