Diagnosing CRPS for Workers Comp Claims in Atlanta

A serious work injury can lead to further complications such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). In the event of your work injury worsening, it can leave you out of work for an extended period of time, which could entitle you to Workers' Comp claims. If an Atlanta work accident left you with serious injuries, speak with a Georgia work injury lawyer to discuss filing a claim.

CRPS Tests to Help Your Workers' Comp Claims Case in Atlanta

There are medical tests that can be performed to diagnosis CRPS and help you file Workers' Comp claims.

Bone scan: an injection of radioactive material will flow through your veins to detect bone abnormalities.
Exams of sympathetic nervous system: detect irregularities such as changes in skin temperature.
X-rays: will show loss of bone mass.
MRI: can pinpoint deteriorating bone tissue.

If you undergo any of these tests to check if your work injury has progressed to CRPS, make sure you document this information and present it to a Georgia work injury lawyer. This piece of information can have a significant impact on the outcome of your Atlanta Workers Comp claims case. You should also record any symptoms of CRPS that you've noticed and the dates you began to notice the symptoms.
