Finally it was getting better, and now all of a sudden it's severely swollen and painful again. It hasn't dislocated again, but the swelling is an issue. Advil, ice, and elevation do not seem to be doing enough to help. The is a good possibility that it will need to be fixed again, but for the mean time it is very uncomfortable. Any suggegstions would be greatly appreciated  |
I have taken numerous anti-inflammatory meds for years. Each one after a while not working. When I had surgery on my hands my doctor prescribed Lodine. It did work on the inflammation and then I went to more conservative methods. RICE and an infrared machine I also got on amazon. It helps alot. But we are all different and we all have to find what works for us. Hope this helps. Praying you get relief and are pain free.
