erythema nodosum

ok i'm in florida on the band trip for the year, we got here today and i think the erythema nodosum is flairing up. i'm sure it has something to do with i haven't slept much in the past 2 weeks. typically the dr tells me to take additional vitamin k for it but, well i'm in florida and don't really want to tell my band director because he'll overeact because it gets where it looks like my foot is broken it gets so bruised and swollen and we are going to be walking around disney for the next week. What can i do to get additional vitamin k without going to like a pharmacy or something like that? any foods? any ideas?

Hi Robert,

The worst flare up I have ever had was on a trip to Disney World. My hips and feet were hurting so bad that we had to rent a wheelchair and I had to be pushed around in it all day! I also had huge bruised looking spots all over. So I definately understand your concern.

I personally would tell the band director. I used to be in band in high school and college and I know how hot headed they can be. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> But I would let him know because if you don't im sure a friend will. My friends would always tell on me if I wasn't feeling well.

They may help you make arrangments to rent a wheelchair and someone could push you or they could at least help you to get some ibuprofen to help with the pain. We found that Disney was very helpful to people in wheelchairs as we always got to skip waiting in line which was a bonus. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Try to rest as much as you can! Rest seems to be the best thing to make it go away.

Good luck!
