Abstract
- An 11-year-old male patient, with a burning pain, mild hypesthesia and allodynia on his right lower leg, ankle and foot, presented following an injury incurred during Taekwondo exercise 6 months earlier. He suffered from a limping gait and some muscle atrophy in his right leg. He was prescribed 2 weeks of carbamazepine, by a neurologist, but his symptoms were not relieved. Under the diagnosis of complex regional pain syndrome type I, physical therapy was performed. At first, his oral medications were changed to gabapentin and nortriptyline. Three weeks after treatment his pain decreased markedly (visual analogue scale, VAS 9/10 --> 2/10) and he was able to walk well, without any discomfort.
