Oh, Gosh, Poor YOU! I feel for you. I had it about 10 yrs ago after going in the waters around the mangroves in the keys. I had cuts on my legs and bam! It was very painful and it did take a while to subside completely. Try a wound center. I came back to work as a nurse and one of the docs recognized it and gave me an Rx that had it gone in no time. He's now my hubby. ha!
