'I have condition so painful it's dubbed suicide disease - there's no cure'
A young man's life was left a shambles as he suffered from a mysterious condition that left doctors baffled for four years. Charlie Moore, 21, was forced to abandon his apprenticeship at his dream workplace due to excruciating pain and swelling on the right side of his upper body.
Despite numerous visits to A&E, clinicians struggled to diagnose the cause of his suffering, leaving Charlie feeling desperate.
Recently, he was finally diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a chronic condition that causes severe pain in the limbs.
With no known cure, Charlie's consultant will begin nerve block treatment to alleviate his symptoms. Nicknamed the 'suicide disease' due to its extreme pain, CRPS has taken a devastating toll on Charlie's life, leaving him reliant on £115-a-month Universal Credit.
