    Hi, yes i got random swelling. Didn't even occur after an injury. Just random swollen patches such as in the middle of my palm, on the sole of my foot, on the side of the knee, at the thumb joint. Didn't find a way to treat them. Just had to put up with it - they always went away after a couple of days.

    My daughter does even though she had HSP 3 years ago. Affects her ankles, knees and wrists. We didn't know if it was related to HSP or whether it was growing pains (she is 12) or a weakness because she is a gymnast & cheerleader, but i don't consider that she over does sport. Our GP suggests growing pains and lots of rest. Since we have rested her well over Christmas and there is still a problem, I am convinced the pain is related to HSP.
