Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi Joan, Advil will help and should not increase the effusion. Indocin (indomethacin) would be still more effective, but it's by prescription only because it can be a little hard on the stomach, so check with your doc.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Well I am back on steroids again for another 6 days. At least I will have a better weekend. Thanks to all of your suggestions you helped me greatly. I guess what I do know now is that is it going to be a longer healing than I guessed. Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Have a safe fun weekend.
