hi jewelz,

only the muscle relaxant.

actually broke down and took aleve yesterday and i think that did help, so some of what is going on (in the trigger points where i have the original injury) must be partly inflammatory. maybe that's why the ice works at healing them up, just not fast enough. but today i could feel the edema in my legs and feet during my walk. the edema is making my hamstring tendon where it connects right below the knee worse and worse. in PT to address that now. that's the main part of my knee pain mystery. we started ultrasounding it before the back thing started and were making some progress. so can't take NSAIDs, though they help so much in the immediate.

rheumatologist on tuesday. i so hope he's ready to give me something that addresses the inflammation that i can actually take.

thanks,


sue
