www.ivinjurylaw.com - Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a nerve injury caused by incorrect or improper IV injection and IV usage. The needle can easily damage surrounding nerves if it is placed incorrectly or if it's placed in an area of flexion, such as the wrist or the elbow crease. IV injections should be placed on the back of the hand or the forearm.
