The Hidden Empidemic: Raising CRPS Awareness Through Personal Journey | Rania Ahmed | TEDxYouth@WCHS

In this emotional and deeply personal talk, I share my journey of living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and shed light on the often invisible nature of chronic pain. Through my story, I highlight the challenges in diagnosing and managing CRPS, the need for increased awareness, and the importance of compassion. My talk will inspire viewers to become advocates for those living with chronic pain while emphasizing the power of hope and community in overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. I am the PR Director of CRPS Warriors, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and raising awareness about Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). I was diagnosed with CRPS at the age of 10, and my personal journey through chronic pain has inspired me to advocate for better understanding and support for those living with invisible illnesses. As a passionate speaker, I’ve shared my story with medical professionals, students, and patients, raising awareness about the challenges of living with CRPS while promoting resilience, hope, and compassion. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
