Swelling !!!

Posted , 2 users are following.

Can someone reassure me that the swelling to the point of not being able to walk without my legs being open is normal?

I’ve been on aciclovir for 5 days now and this is my last, no change, maybe even worse. Many have said that it can take a couple of weeks but i’m worrying if this is actually normal and if anyone has advice on the swelling just so i am able to walk again 😩😩😩

    Did you taking something for the swelling  like Aleve along with Acyclovir it you didn't then you need to, see your Doctor if you don't get better soon, it does take three weeks to be total clear, but after the med's you should not be having this problem. hope you feel better soon.

      Will aleve help the swelling? I have pictures of how bad it is but i don’t want the doctor to look and touch it as it is embarrassing to me and i don’t want it to hurt !!

      Would they prescribe it by just asking?
