Sophie Cole suffers from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) due to a workplace incident in 2022, causing constant pain and disability in her left hand. The condition, described as 'the world's most painful,' has severely impacted her daily life.
Sophie Cole suffers from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome – which is considered "the world's most painful condition" - after she was injured at work in 2022.
Sophie described this pain as feeling like “someone forcibly holding her hand into an extremely hot fire while rubbing it back and forth over a really large cheese grater”. Cork Beo reports that Sophie, who worked as an SNA in Cork, has been out of work since her injury, but insists that this is not due to the children she works with, but instead the “lack of access to multidisciplinary teams and services” in schools.
"For three months I got my wage as usual, and then I moved to my sick leave day and I had never used a sick day, so I had my full sick leave entitlements, and then I went to half pay and then to the state €220."
