Summertime,
You are not alone.. Just think of us as your friends or forum family. I am suffering too but had the opposite happen, mine
spread from my foot to my groin. I am in unbelievable pain..I am going to call my Pain Management doctor today to see what else they can do..
Have you tried physical therapy? I am going to a very gentle therapist and she is using a special technique called Lymphatic massage..or something like that.. To keep the fluids flowing in the lymph system.. It is easing my swelling.. She also put a long sock on me that is helping to circulate the fluids.. It hurts but I can see it is doing some good, so I am hanging on..
All I can say is try all that you can until you find some relief..
We care and we will listen..
