Oh dear, , I am so sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain and awaiting an official HS diagnosis, but I am glad that you've found our community here. Hopefully some of our community member can share what they do for pain relief with you here. In the meantime, I wanted to share a couple of articles with you. This one has information about pain management ideas for HS, https://hsdisease.com/clinical/pain-management And this one has HS treatment options, https://hsdisease.com/treatment. Finally, this one has some home remedies that might help with pain as well, https://hsdisease.com/home-remedies. Please know that our community is here for you, and, if you're comfortable, let us know how you're doing and what you hear from the doctor. Sending you gentle hugs! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
