We know that Chloe has a nerve problem on the left side of neck that effected the development of her left shoulder. For a few years with her neurologist, I have been discussing the left side of Chloe's forehead and the pain she has from there. We were wondering if it was deferred pain from somewhere else or actual from the forehead.
We have had a very cold February and I took cell phone pictures of the swollen red area that emerged on her forehead and sent them to her neurologist. She thought it might be a reaction to the prescription pain ointment that she prescribed for Chloe. I told her that the medicine rub on the spot calms it down and actual had cell phone pictures of it doing that. She admittedly wanted more details of what helps and what triggers the redness to appear and what works to calm it down or prevent it. So we are trying to get the information together for our next appointment. The pain patch moved over to where the redness surfaced and the fabric bandage keeps the area warm and away from air.
So far we know what works keeping the area with a pain patch and a bandage over protects it from the air and cold. Molly, who works with her at the YMCA, said at the last session Chloe was all smiles threw out the session and even laughed a couple of times. Chloe seems more in control of her emotions and actually able to talk through disagreements better then without the patch.
So we are working with the Neurologist to identifying the problem or problems and if there is something we can besides what we are already doing.
