Does anyone have any experience with this syndrome, a young relative of OH has this and although I've looked online for info there doesn't seem much about it. The young man in question had a serious injury to his hand/arm several years ago but he is so debilitated by his pain he can't work and is on serious pain relief permanently, he's had all the treatments the NHS can offer him and although he has a young family seems to be gradually withdrawing from all normal life (spends days in bed) and now has lost so much weight he looks skeletal. We aren't that close to him but know from family he has treatment for his depression etc and regular hospital visits but I really don't understand the weight loss and OH thinks his family actually fear for his life.. although they haven't voiced this to us.
I'm just trying to understand how it came to this with all the treatments available to him all from an injured arm (which has had many surgeries)... be glad of any ones views about this very sad situation.
