Abstrakt: Corticosteroids are a potential treatment to combat Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, however the adverse effect profile far outweighs the benefits of using them. Avascular necrosis and Osteonecrosis are among well defined adverse effects. Postmenopausal women are especially affected by corticosteroids due to loss of estrogen. Diabetics are an interesting study as their pain perception is altered due to either high cortisol levels or the development of peripheral neuropathy.
