Lower T Levels, CRPS

[PAUL-E]

Just a random thought I've been thinking about. I've read CRPS happens in about 70% of women and only 30% men I'm curious if testosterone levels have anything to do with it when I developed the CRPS my testosterone levels we're in range but at the bottom of the range for a 70-90 year old man. I'd be curious to see what other men's testosterone levels are that developed CRPS to see if there's some kind of connection.

Unfortunately, men do not have their test checked when they are diagnosed with CRPS. Good luck with that one, "bro".

I'm sure but it was just a thought maybe some guys might read this that are researching into their condition and have it checked I know CRPS is very rare but I'd love to hear some feedback just strikes me as very odd women to men ratio.

From what i see clinically, women are more likely to injure their upper extremity, esp in ages 61--70 category. Post menopause, weaker, poorer balance, they fall and injure the UE more than the LE.
