Hi.....my son is 19 yrs old.....two years ago out of nowhere, his wrist swelled up and then his arm, with icing and tylenol , it went away after a couple of days......since then it has come up a few times...knees, wrist , ears and lips..... ..however , since March 2nd.., it has come up repeatedly....as soon as we treat it with the icing and reactine....a few days later, it comes back..... he went to the hospital because the swelling was horrendous....diagnosed and andiogema......it hasn t been a week yet and it s started today again on his wrist.....i personally, have mixed emotions if he really has been diagnosed properly..... however, .all his blood work was great, no sign of any other problems.. ...i am more concern of what is really the cause of it, then the treatment....the episodes are too close to each other and giving me great grief.....today, the hand is very swollen, red and hot.....at the hospital they were concerned that maybe a clot, but that was ruled out. after all the tests... ,,,any ideas.....??????!!!!! as a young boy, he was very involved in sports, never had this problem....now, .he spends a lot of time in the computer at home and University.........poor .circulation.....(can this be a factor,????.....)...his diet is rich . of organic fruits and vegetables..every day, drinks plenty of water, loves red meat, but very lean , doesn t smoke and doesn t drink......,,,, ...even if it s andiogema......can it be treated......????....i don t believe that the reactine is of any use....any ideas.....?????.. the icing works , but it takes a few days....one doctor suggested cortison injections when it gets really bad......no way.....i have a problem with that.....what s your view.....if, the attitute is ...(we think...it s.... andiogema.......) it s not good enough for me...it s either it is or it isn t.......the reactine is useless ....any ideas........pls advise ..
