Zayne Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 could be it im not sure how would i cure this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 It is almost impossible to cure as the symptoms can occur from a wide range of internal problems.. Some have luck with antibiotics (obviously these will only be effective if the cause was a bacterial infection) epsoms salts etc.. Generally it doesn't achieve much but you don't loose anything by giving it a go, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
