It did go away however.

Have you tried cold packs on it? When I get weird pains, I just stick a magnet on it. One of my super strong ones. I used a magnet on my broken big toe as well a few years ago.

There is always some weird thing to plague us, IMO. That is why I use patches, magnets, etc the way I do. Usually something works. If you want to spring for some Salonpas patches...that would only be 4-5 bucks for the 40 pk...and they work well sometimes on specific inflammatory spots. I keep open ones in ziplocs to stay fresh.

this is the original one ..they can be cut etc too. Typically RiteAid and Walgreen's carries them. Also WalMart.

I use them still on my unpredictable ankle when it swells up.
