Somehow, once I get pain, in any area, I can never get rid of it.

nne, I read this statement in a handout from Libby...it

makes me think of what you are describing above....

" Another form of nerve pain called " reflex sympathetic

dystrophy " or " regional complex pain syndrome " . In

this kind of discomfort, pain signals from an injury (and the injury may be

minor, such as a severe yeast infection, or major, such as surgery) continues

after the cause of the injury resolves. "

I have had it in my right leg for years and get a lot of relief by using Blue

Emu (a muscle rub which contains emu oil). It comes back from time to time and

I use the stuff and it really helps. I first got it when my Baker's cyst

ruptured and caused my leg to become very swollen for a few months. It got

worse when I had arthroscopic surgery on my knee (same leg) but I did physical

therapy for several weeks and it did not get too bad. The Blue Emu helps

tremendously.

My son had it and he swears by compression stockings to alleviate the pain but I

think wearing those things would drive me up the wall.
