David, 37 year old who after a fall broke part of his inner malleolus and ended up developing complex regional pain syndrome or Sudeck’s disease.

Complex regional pain syndrome, also known as Sudeck’s disease or reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), is a highly painful chronic musculoskeletal disease affecting the hands, forearms, feet and legs. This disease is characterized by joint stiffness, limiting mobility, and is accompanied by burning sensation, skin hypersensitivity, intense swelling (caused by abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues), redness, sweating, among other symptoms. Although its causes are still unknown, it can have serious consequences. Although it can manifest itself at any age, it is more common in women between 40 and 60 years of age, although its diagnosis among young people is on the rise.

“I was 3, 4, 5, 6 months wandering around with no solution. Until I found Dr. Piñal’s clinic on the Internet. In a matter of 15 to 20 days I had a follow-up, a check-up and an operation. Just one year ago, I am working all day, all day on my feet, my life has changed completely.”

This surgical procedure demands a thorough prior analysis and extensive experience and technical skill. It focuses on identifying, locating and treating the root of a problem that has been overlooked by other surgeons.
