I understand - I have pn pain everyday, but mostly just very light pain that I can live with easily. What I term a flare up is when it gets notably worse over a period of hours or days.

This is always when a storm is approaching or during one and the pain becomes more intense and more frequent. No flare up has ever lasted more than a week for me, as it slowly returns to my normal level of slight pains, but when the flare ups do occur, it is horrible! The only other times I have flare ups of pn pain is when I get sick with a flu or something.

Thankfully though, I notice that I'm feeling better as every month passes and the flare ups that occur every month are getting less painful than the months before it. I thank God for that.
