AB  - ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISConsider  posttraumatic  neuralgia  (PTN)  when  an  injury  causes  unexpectedly  severe  or  prolonged  distal  pain.Injuries  that  appear  minor,  eg,  phlebotomy,  sometimes  injure  nerves  disproportionately.Symptoms  can  be  mild  and  transient,  moderate,  or  severe  and  prolonged.  Children  almost  always  recover.The  complex  regional  pain  syndrome  (CRPS)  diagnosis  requires  additional  symptoms:  eg,  asymmetric  edema,  alterations  of  cutaneous  blood  flow  or  sweating  patterns,  or  movement  difficulties.Full  CRPS  develops  only  in  the  limbs.Rare  cases  that  are  prolonged,  bilateral,  or  not  associated  with  trauma  may  be  related  to  internal  structural  causes,  underlying  systemic  inflammation,  immune  dysregulation,  or  to  small-fiber  polyneuropathy.  These  cases  require  additional  diagnostic  approaches  and  often  have  specific  treatments.
