Re: Cellulitis

Was in er for 5 hours. They gave me iv antibiotics. Said it is pretty nasty case, but since my fever was only 99, and I did not feel physically sick I could go home. Having lots of pain. The redness is fading, but swelling is not yet. I guess I should feel lucky that tgis us first case. I have had severe lymphedema for5 years nowq. I have tried everything except the lymph node transfer surgery that has procen to be not so successful. this cellulitis we think started because my husband was doing mld a little to vigiouresly. Thanks for all your well wishes
