<\/p>\nA little girl\u2019s world has been rocked after a blister on her foot developed during a family holiday turned out to be a horrific disorder.<\/p>\n
Bella Macey, 10, has been fighting complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in hospital \u2013 as her family desperately seeks treatment overseas.
\nCRPS is a rare neurological disorder causes extreme discomfort and is known as one of the most painful incurable conditions in the world.
\nThe debilitating condition has caused the young Melbourne girl to lose movement in her leg and experience excruciating pain for more than a month.
\nHer small infection first appeared while she was at the beach with her family during a holiday in Fiji.<\/p>\n
But the blister soon became agonising and her entire leg starting to hurt.<\/p>\n
Upon returning to their home in Melbourne, she was rushed to the emergency room at the Alfred for treatment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Doctors conducted X-rays, ultrasounds and blood tests but were unable to identify what was wrong.<\/p>\n
Bella received strong antibiotics in the meantime, which proved to have little-to-no effect on relieving her pain.<\/p>\n
After her original infection dissipated and the pain lingered on, Bella was diagnosed with the disorder.<\/p>\n
CRPS usually affects just one arm or leg following an earlier injury, such as a fracture or sprain with no nerve damage, or nerve damage to a limb.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear what exactly causes CRPS but it\u2019s thought it could possibly be due to the nerves in the affected area becoming more sensitive, which may change the pain pathways between the limb and the brain.<\/p>\n

Since her diagnosis, Bella is primarily bedridden and has lost movement in her leg. She sometimes requires a wheelchair to get around.<\/p>\n
The pain in her leg is so severe that she has also developed hypersensitivity \u2013 meaning a simple touch can feel agonising.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
