Continuing Mild EN - mostly under control

[Guest guest]

I'm 67 have been fighting this for about 7 years. Right now have two nodules

forming on legs so will have to visit doctor for injections of cortisone under

the skin at the nodules. This treatment seems to work the best for me. The

object in my case is to catch it early and prevent it from spreading into the

ankles/knees or becoming generalized. When in Mexico one winter, a doctor

actually took about 20 minutes to talk to me about it.

My doctor uses Triamcinolone - Acetonide Injectable Suspension USP with a fine

needle and he adds some anesthetic to it so is doesn't hurt quite so much. This

treatment has fewer side effects than taking an oral medication.

Hope this is helpful.
