I have recently been diagnosed with EN. I am pregnant and have been told I can take Tylenol for the pain. I have excruciating pain in my ankle. I have also had some pain in my wrist and knees. I have read the joint pain can last up to 6 months. Has anyone experienced such long term effects?

I was diagnosed with EN when I was pregnant with my second child. During my fourth month I had some uncomfortable lesions on my legs, but from the 6th month forward, I had terrible joint pain. The joint pain lasted about 3 months and then resolved itself about 2 weeks before I delivered. I'm wondering how likely it is that I would experience EN again with another pregnancy.

My son had a biopsy today on his shin on these bumps everyone is talking about. He is 12 and in an incredible amount of pain. I have him elevating his legs and have them iced. He had to have 2 stitches after it was all said and done. He has has recent medical problems read about him at www.caringbridge.org/visit/zacharyathompson. They have him on 800 mg of ibuprofen daily. Is there anything else I can do for him?
