@Qmars: I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I am 31 yrs old and have had this since I was 8 and it has been getting worse for me as well. A few things that have started helping me: I changed my diet to avoid any animal products, I consume 1-4 lemons a day by peeling the skin off and juicing them or squeezing them onto my food (lemons are anti-inflammatory), and just yesterday I found that taking the inner leaves of cabbage and placing them on the area that is swollen for at least an hour provides some relief. I hope your friend will recover soon.
