Shot infection....need some help.

I just had the same issue. I went to the er after the second day that I couldn't walk and they said if I would have waited any longer I wouldn't have a leg right now. Don't mess with that shit beleive me. They gave me IV meds and some take home antibiotics and it was gone in less than a week.

Did they send you home or admit you?

if they sent you home then never go back to that ER again. If your infection was soooo bad that you could have lost your leg after the second day not able to walk, as they told you and they sent you home they are either quacks or full of shit. not flaming oyu just flaming the ER you went to.

cellulitus they said. no telling. they might have been over precautious because of the "location" I am in. can't exactly ease back to the Dr. the next morning. i dunno man, just what they said.

Just seems like it's underneath the skin.

I do have an antibiotic called Cefuroxime Axetil I might try.

I just read a lab report on IP's gear. Great results! Next to no coliform bacteria, just a lot of benzyl alcohol . {someone suggested IP is probably to blame}.

Sounds like cellulitis to me, an abcess would be much smaller in size.

I had this before and was prescribed Bactrim DS which cleared it right up.
