Hi, Ella! The banding sure isn't much fun, is it? I'm reading that a whole lot of us have the same thing along with the temperature problems. My legs feel like they're in buckets of ice water and when it gets too bad they start spasming which is so painful. I do find that the Lyrica really does help with that and the neuropathy. I don't know if you read earlier about how I had weaned myself off of it except for two low doses a day. I do find that when the pain gets too bad Ibuprofen or Tylenol does help.
We were just talking about the splotches the other day! Another thing we have in common! What is it that your provider gave you? Is it something we can get over the counter? Sometimes the providers have samples they can give out to their patients. Take care, Ella! Good to chat with you!

That area is also hypersensitive but not as bad as bannding area. On my chest and left arm I get splotches about nickle size that look like bruises and my doctor gave me cream to put on them and theyclear right up. Ella in Ohio Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.
