Hi Coffiebean..

I have gotten flare ups from medical procedures IV's etc.. and I find it tones back after a bit of using the area as normaly as possible and vitimin C, if you have any flare ups take an extra 1000mg of vitimin C for a bit till it settles back to normal, the antioxadents in vitimin C helps aleviate the inflamation to any new trauma areas and is a good idea to take anyway as it has been known to actualy stop RSD when taken early enouph.

luck bud.
