WMBF News reports that CONWAY, SC (WMBF) - More than a dozen people gathered at the Conway Riverwalk Saturday morning to raise awareness for complex regional pain syndrome.
CRPS is a chronic disease that typically develops after an injury, leaving those affected in pain.
It outranks childbirth, kidney stones and amputation of a limb on the McGill Pain Scale.
Saturday marked the seventh annual nationwide RSDSA Walk for CRPS.
However, this is the first time organizers put together a walk in the Grand Strand.
Organizer Kira Kordiak said it was amazing to connect with others going through the same thing, “It was special,” Kordiak said.
