  • When I walk a lot, or stub my toe... usually within a week or so that joint will be inflamed, sometimes to the extremes that you describe. The medical opinions from the people I've consulted are basically "not much we can do".

    So I take Ibuprofen to kill the swelling and numb the joint a bit, or get a prescription for stronger drugs if that's not enough. I try to drink a lot of water, because some part of the theory of the process involved includes relative dehydration.

    I've also had some success with the use of DMSO applied externally, or MSM taken internally, when I get around to picking some up. Since these are controversial, I'll just say that my personal experience is that these are actually rather effective when I use them, or else they're one hell of a placebo. {grin}
