I have an area at my inside part of my knee where the skin is terribly painful - the pain 'moves or grows' and becomes larger. Or starts at one sport and if I don't treat it quickly will move higher or lower areas of the body. Not on my face though. I have this maybe once a year or once in two years. Warm bath and Vicks used to help. This time its worse. I find a heating pad helps a lot as well as a warm bath. Then you can only feel the inner muscle pain but not the pain on the skin. Aleve dit help.
