This is going to be short. I’m a 28 year old man with a high pain tolerance. Not anymore. This is the most miserable experience ever. Can you imagine getting one of these back in the 1800’s? Oh man. I don’t know what I’d do with the modern day medicine. The doctors have perscribed Clindamycin and Sulfamethoxazole for both of my flare ups. I’m miserable still. The heating pad is your best friend. But take it off for a few minutes and you’ll wish you never had. The pain comes back VERY fast.
