Specializes in Pain Management

Swelling not good: The pain you describe could be due to any number of neurologic or muscoloskeletal problems.I'm thrown by the 'swelling'.If it's just a swelling 'sensation' w/out actual visible or palpable swelling, you most likely have a musculoskeletal problem that could be alleviated by muscle relaxants/pain meds & osteopathic manipulation.Real swelling could indicate lymphatic/blood vessel injury.See dr. ASAP.
