Cathy, I feel your pain .... literally
It must be our name! I too have had cellulitus attacks ... 2 so far. They are HORRIBLE. About a year ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible pain in my right arm.. It felt like I was hit with a baseball bat. I was admitted in the hosp for 2 day and they gave me vancomyacin (sp?).
I was sent home with clyndamyacin. My onc. told me that if I feel any pain in my right arm that I might only suspect it be celulittus to start taking my clyndamyacin right away. This will help stop any suspected arm infection. I don;t go anywhere without my med..."just in case".
Glad you're better because that's a pretty intense pain.
