IoM landmarks will light up orange next week to raise awareness for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness.

The eighth 'Colour the World Orange' Day takes place on Monday (November 1).

CRPS is an extremely painful condition that currently has no treatment.

This year the Tower of Refuge, Pulrose Power Station, Ramsey Swing Bridge and 3FM will go Orange for CRPS awareness.

People can also show their support by wearing something orange and sharing a photo on their social media pages with the #CTWO #CTWOIOM
