I first had erythema nodosum in 1995 after a sore throat and many painful red lumps appeared on my lower legs. I couldn't walk or get any shoes on, I was that swollen. Thirteen years later after another painful sore throat and a week of antibiotics four large red lumps have appeared. I have been diagnosed with erythema nodosum again and am still having to visit doctors and get blood tests done and a chest x-rays.
