There are many variables.... injector, health of patient, etc. That's why you need another opinion. People die from stomach bleeding due to motrin and they won't take that off the market!

That's true, they are supposed to go away after a year. How long has it been? If it's gone, massage won't help. That's why your whole situation is very rare. Could it still be there? Maybe within 1.5 years. But the doc would know more (I hope) than us. Like I said, I have scar tissue or a knot which I know started with a Perlane type prodcut (restylane), and it's still there, but I know it's not left over restylane, but from it. In that case of course, the enzyme won't work.

Wow, she's really insensitive. No matter what, she should have offered you a solution. Yes, it's a good idea to talk to your Rheumatologist but I doubt he'll have any expertise in cosmetic applications, he could advise or recommend your next step. If anything, you could see if there is a healthcare advocate in Dallas. We have one here and they take complaints. Even if you don't get anywhere, it will make you feel better and the more people that report unresolved problems with her, the more likely she will worry about how she treats people. You can also write reviews on yelp, yahoo or here as long as they are factual and unemotional, for example: After going back, my concerns were not addressed satisfactorily. Your problem may or may not a be a result of technique, but it certainly needs to be addressed and resolved!

No, I think it really is rare. But I also think they used to tell people with autoimmune diseases that these injections are not advised. Not so much I think anymore.

I only had "festoons" for a very short while that went away on their own, and was probably due to trauma of injection. For you, this is not the case obviously. As you already know, you have an abnormal immune response because of the type of arthritis you have, so I wonder if your body is more sensitive? Please note that I am not a medical provider, and you need to follow up with someone, even a physician to rule out infection (which is possible) if you haven't already. If it were me, I'd drive the 150 miles. Please let us know how you make out. One thing I did have and still do is a lump under my eye after the injections and I think its scar tissue because it would have gone away in 3 years. Thankfully it's not swollen and doesn't hurt. Take care.
