Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Thank you for your reply,much appriciated. Do any of you get urticaria (nettle rash )at he same time? Does wearing support hosery help? How long is this going to keep coming up (she has had it on and off for 5 weeks)? Do the lumps hurt? My daughter says not, but when she broke her collar bone age 3, she said that it didn't hurt either!! So should I give pain relief medicine? I have looked at the pictures and her diognosis looks right. Thanks! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Dear Jen, Hives are not associated with EN. Here is a link about hives: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~aair/urticaria.htm Support hose or eleastic bandages do help some of us, and I use a TEDS compression on the one Leg I get EN on. Yes, EN can be very painful for many of us, and less painful for others. For me the position of the lump mattered. Close to a join hurts me more than on the area between joints. Edema or swelling made the pain much worse. If your daughter says she is not is not in pain, I would not give her meds. unless teh dr. prescribed it. It won't make the lumps go away. I had hives twice and it was horrible. They itched so much I felt like ripping off my skin. For me it was worse than EN, but we all are very different and my EN, while I've had it for 37 yrs, is a mild case. There is no way to predict the course of the EN, but 6-8 weeks is the average length of a flare up as written in the literature.
