Myth-busting: “There’s a simple test that proves CRPS.”

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) can be frightening, especially when pain feels far worse than the original injury. It is natural to hope there’s one clear test that can give a definite yes or no.

In reality, CRPS is a clinical diagnosis. That means it is recognised from the pattern of:

• Pain that is far out of proportion to the original injury and lasts much longer than expected
• Extreme sensitivity to touch, where even clothing, water or a breeze can be very painful
• Changes in colour, temperature or swelling in the limb compared with the other side
• Shifts in skin, hair and nail growth over the area
• Stiffness, weakness and avoiding using the limb

Scans or other tests may still be useful, but mainly to rule out other causes rather than to “prove” CRPS.

Because CRPS often responds better when it is spotted and managed early, unusual, severe or spreading pain after an injury is usually worth getting checked by a clinician.

Vasculitis means inflammation of the blood vessels. When those vessels swell, narrow or weaken, the blood flow to the skin, nerves and internal organs can be disrupted.

Some types mainly affect the skin, while others can involve the lungs, kidneys or eyes. Symptoms can build gradually or come on more quickly, and are sometimes mistaken for flu or arthritis.

Common symptoms can include:
• Skin changes – small purple or red spots, a raised rash, a mottled net-like pattern, nodules or small ulcers, often on the lower legs
• Feeling generally unwell – unexplained fevers, drenching night sweats, weight loss and deep fatigue that doesn’t lift with rest
• Joint and muscle pain – aching, stiff or swollen joints and sore muscles
• Nerve symptoms – numbness, pins and needles, burning or sudden weakness in a hand or foot
• Organ warning signs – blood in the urine, breathlessness, coughing up blood, sinus or nasal crusting, or new visual disturbance

Vasculitis can have several triggers, including an overactive immune response, certain infections such as hepatitis B or C, some medications, and linked conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Particular types are more common over the age of 50, and ANCA-associated forms are tied to specific antibodies.

Because some forms can threaten sight or organ function, new red-flag symptoms are usually treated as urgent.

At Bridge House Clinic in Rossett, an initial consultation with consultant rheumatologist Dr Subhra Raghuvanshi costs £220. This includes a full assessment, examination and a plan for any tests needed to confirm or rule out vasculitis. Further investigations or treatments are always discussed and priced before going ahead.

A GP referral is not required for a private vasculitis assessment, though bringing previous blood tests or scans often helps build the picture faster.

Cooler, darker evenings often mean more time indoors with the TV on, a good film or long chats with family.

That’s also when changes in hearing can become easier to spot. If sound seems muffled, the TV keeps creeping up, or you’re missing doorbells and phone calls more than others in the house, it can sometimes point to hearing loss.

Hearing loss simply means a reduction in how well you hear – from dulled, distant sound or struggling to follow conversation in background noise, through to a sudden drop in hearing in one or both ears.

Some causes, like a build-up of earwax or fluid behind the eardrum (glue ear), can be straightforward to pick up in clinic. Others, including age-related changes, nerve-related loss or a sudden drop in hearing, benefit from a careful ear examination and hearing tests to pin down what’s going on.

A sudden loss of hearing, especially in one ear, is usually treated as urgent, as early assessment gives the best chance of recovery.

At Bridge House Clinic in Rossett, Mr Huw Jones, consultant ENT surgeon, assesses hearing loss with an ear examination, hearing tests and, where helpful, an endoscopic examination of the ear canal and eardrum. Fees for an initial consultation and any procedures are set out clearly on our website.

Spirometry is a simple breathing test that measures how much air you can blow out and how quickly. It helps assess how well your lungs are working in conditions such as asthma or COPD.

At Bridge House Clinic, it’s a single appointment with our nursing team and there’s no NHS waiting list.

Here’s what usually happens:

1️⃣ A few quick measurements
Your height, weight and a short history of your breathing and any inhalers are recorded. This helps make sense of your results.

2️⃣ Practice the breathing
The nurse shows you exactly how to use the mouthpiece: a deep breath in, then blow out as hard and as long as you can. A soft clip keeps your nose closed so all the air goes through your mouth.

3️⃣ The recorded blows
You repeat the breath a few times so your best, most consistent readings are captured. It takes some effort and can feel tiring for a moment, but it isn’t painful and you rest between blows.

4️⃣ Your results, explained
Before you leave, the nurse goes through what your figures show about your lung function and what, if anything, may be worth following up. There’s no separate visit just to hear your results.

The test is £160, which covers the spirometry itself and having your results explained to you on the day. There’s no downtime afterwards, so you can carry on with your day once the breathing is done.

Living with ongoing pain can be exhausting, especially when it affects everyday activities, sleep and mood.

Dr Mohamed Khafaga is a consultant in anaesthesia and pain management at the Countess of Chester Hospital, and lead for acute pain management there. He has over 20 years' experience helping people understand and manage long-term pain conditions.

At Bridge House Clinic, Dr Khafaga sees adults with a wide range of problems including:

• Lower back pain and sciatica
• Neck pain
• Headaches
• Facial pain
• Joint pain and arthritis
• Fibromyalgia

His postgraduate training was at Alexandria University Hospitals (Master's and PhD), with further qualifications including a specialist diploma in regional and general anaesthesia from Aix-Marseille University in France, the European Diploma in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, and an advanced pain management fellowship at St Helens and Knowsley.

If pain has been affecting daily life for a while, it is usually worth discussing it with a suitably qualified clinician to explore what might be contributing and what options may be available.

Aching or stiff joints can be easy to shrug off as age or “overdoing it”, but certain patterns are worth noticing.

Brief stiffness that eases within a few minutes is usually nothing to worry about. The pattern that tends to matter more is:

• Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes
• Pain or swelling that goes on for weeks, or keeps coming back

Osteoarthritis often builds up slowly and feels worse with use. Inflammatory arthritis, on the other hand, more often brings clear joint swelling and long‑lasting morning stiffness, sometimes affecting both sides of the body.

Working out which is which is not something to do alone at home. A Consultant Rheumatologist can take a full history, examine your joints, arrange blood tests or scans if needed, and then explain the diagnosis and a clear plan.

Understanding these early signs simply helps you judge when a specialist rheumatology assessment may be a sensible next step rather than waiting and hoping things will settle on their own.

“If I’ve got sciatica, I’ll definitely need a scan.”

Not always.

Sciatica is nerve pain that runs from the lower back, through the buttock and down the leg. It’s often sharp, shooting or burning, and may come with tingling, numbness or weakness.

Many people assume a scan is the first step. In reality, sciatica is usually diagnosed by:

• A careful history of your symptoms
• A thorough clinical examination

Scans are not automatically needed for everyone. If a consultant feels imaging would genuinely add useful information in a particular case, this can be discussed at the appointment.

If leg pain is severe, not settling after a few weeks, or is coming with increasing weakness or spreading numbness, it’s usually worth having it assessed.

Spots, blackheads and sore breakouts can feel overwhelming – but understanding acne often makes it a bit less stressful.

Acne happens when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. This can lead to:
• Whiteheads and inflamed red spots – often across the face, chest or back
• Blackheads – small dark-looking blocked pores, especially around the nose, chin and forehead
• Deeper, painful lumps under the skin (nodules or cysts)
• Lingering marks, redness or scarring after spots have healed

Common factors that can play a role include excess oil production, hormonal changes, blocked follicles, bacteria on the skin, certain medications and family history.

Shop-bought washes and creams can be useful for some people, especially when acne is milder. If breakouts are more inflamed, painful, leaving marks or just not shifting, a tailored plan from a dermatologist often works better than going it alone.

At Bridge House Clinic in Rossett, appointments are with consultant dermatologist Dr Dalia Alsaadi, who sees both adults and children. The first visit usually involves a careful look at the skin, a chat through symptoms and history, and an explanation of suitable options in plain language, before agreeing a plan together.

If acne is affecting confidence, causing pain or leaving scars, it is usually worth getting it checked.

Cooler, damp autumn days often bring knee niggles to the forefront. If your knee is already a bit stiff or sore, you might notice it more when you’re out walking the dog, climbing stairs or getting up after a cosy evening on the sofa.

Knee pain simply means discomfort in or around the knee joint. It can come on suddenly after an injury, or build up gradually over time. People often describe:

• Pain on movement, especially with walking, stairs, squatting, kneeling or after sitting for a while.
• Swelling or stiffness, where the knee feels puffy, tight or warm and harder to bend or straighten fully.
• Clicking, grinding or catching, sometimes with a sense that things are not gliding smoothly.
• Instability, as if the knee might give way — particularly on uneven ground or when changing direction.
• Weakness, where everyday activities like sport, work or housework start to feel harder.

A practical tip for this time of year: keeping gently active often helps knees feel less "rusty". Many people find that regular, comfortable movement — rather than long periods of sitting — makes stiffness less noticeable on colder days.

At Bridge House Clinic in Rossett, between Chester and Wrexham, our physiotherapy team can assess your knee and build a tailored rehabilitation plan. A targeted joint injection may also be considered for persistent or inflammatory pain. Private appointments are available with no NHS waiting list, and self-referral is welcome.

If a knee locks, repeatedly gives way, becomes very hot and swollen, or you cannot put weight through it, it is usually important to seek prompt medical attention.
