By : By the date of this post, i believe your performance date has passed. For the future or anyone who may benefit from reading this post, i will advise. It sounds like you did all the right things. In addition taking an anti-inflammatory like advil (ibuprofen) every 6 to 8 hours with food will help.. You may even want to visit your primary care provider and ask if a one time steroid injection is feasible. This would definitely help with the swelling and inflammation. Based on your history and the examination, your doctor will decide if this is a good option. I hope all went well. Take care.
