Dr recommended a knee brace or sleeve. I have a sleeve, so I started wearing it. No pain killers because, I can't. I'm using Traumeel and IcyHot instead and just at night. Really, I don't feel that bad anymore. Depending on how I plant my leg, it will remind me it's a problem, but it's not bad overall.
One thing....when I reminded the Dr I can't do the pain meds, he said that it's time we get to the bottom of it. After this is all over, he's going to recommend a good allergist (out of this area) and he wants me to start seeing him. The allergists I went to before (two of them) didn't even offer to do tests, just said, "Well, don't take the OTC meds anymore!" and let it go at that. Dr. said that's BS and he wants something done. He said that enough is enough. That might be good news. At least I'd know what was going on. God knows I'm tired of dealing with the pain when things happen. Migraines are bad enough, but dealing with muscle and ligament pain can really do a number. And it's hard to deal with the swelling when I can't take the meds to bring it down.
