So sorry you are going through so much! Are you taking Vit C to help with spread? 500 mg daily for 6 weeks. Are infusions of any kind an option at this point? Lidocaine or ketamine? You may also consider a two to three week round of oral steroids. That could really knock things down and isn't particularly risky.

I hope you find relief soon,
sending prayers and Healing Love,
Littlepaw

Yeah, I figured injections were out right now. Maybe ask about the short course of prednisone. Some doctors are reluctant to give it which is kind of funny considering if someone was having a bad allergy flare or asthma an allergist wouldn't hesitate. It does have its place. I took a course after my last surgery, we waited three months before trying it which was dumb because it did help and was only short term to keep things calm.

I hope you feel better soon!
