Is there anything that can be done about it? It's really ridiculously painful this time round

Poor you. I had it once badly as a teenager, then it came back 25 years later when I was about six months pregnant - but mainly affecting my arms and wrists this time.

I know it's agony, I think mine took around two weeks to calm down. I just took as much paracetamol as I was allowed. Hopefully yours will clear up soon.

Thank you, just a wee bit of reassurance goes a long way

It's horrible isn't it? I was so shocked to get it again, I went to my GP (well a crappy locum) and he tried to pass it off as insect bites! I knew damn well that it was EN again as I couldn't move my wrists or write or type and googling indicated that it can recur in pregnancy.

I hope yours clears up soon, but take it easy in the meantime.
