Another great App I discovered is Managing My Pain. It tracks your pain level, meds, where you hurt, what helps, what doesn’t, diet and more. Makes reports you can share with Doctors or whom ever. Give it a try. I think you will like it. Michael

Can Either Sciatica Or Osteoarthritis In One's Knees Cause Leg Swelling?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Surrey, BC

Hi there. I have both osteoarthritis in both my knees as well as sciatica in my lower back, and I've been noticing lately that whenever I have pain flareups from both conditions, I have swelling in my legs, especially in my calves. Could either of these conditions be causing that?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

Speak to your doctor too....is excellent advice.

Rio Dell, CA

I have just come across with guidance from my Pain Psychologist a terrific App regarding PAIN and the Neuro Science of it all. I really like this App and you can use part of it for free or unlock it all for a fee. You suggest you just take a look at it. It is called :

Rio Dell, CA

All of you out there have these diagnosis which are really diagnosis of Symptoms not causes. I am working hard to determine Causes and possibly cures.
