Yes it can,and it can be explained on the basis of reflex sympathetic dystrophy
or what we call now a days as CRPS or complex regional pain syndrome.
The sympathetic system becomes over active as a result of nerve damage and it causes increased , severe sensitivity - pain, swelling, stiffness of the joints.
There are different stages of the disorder and the manifestations depend on what stage you are.

The Doctors to be consulted should be , orthopedic surgeon , pain specialist.
