cellulitis?

[musclebound86]

i have fucking cellulitis in my upper arm from an injection. The doc says its basically an infection of the skin when bacteria gets under the skin. i try to be clean i guess i fucked up this time. has anyone else delt with this before??

 

[dorian123]

yeah did he put you on antibiotics? if he catches it fast enough then the antibiotics might be able to take care of it...if not he will have to cut and drain it

 

[musclebound86]

I've never had it, but since you're on anit-biotics already, you should be good to go

Dorian123 didn't u have this in ur glute. I freaking out though I have no insurance n if I goda have surgery I'm so fucked. I'll b Greg valentinoing my tricept wit saringes just so I don't havfta pay 20 k

 

[dorian123]

yes, but it was from dirty A-swabs...

I let it go for a while before I went to the doctor-none of the doctors ever saw anything like it

they thought is was MRSA it wasn't to this day they don't know

the A-swabs had bacteria on it that they didn't check for

That's crazy man. Atleast your all good now. I woke up this morning and the swelling went down so hopefully ill be g2g soon

 

[dorian123]

You should be able to see big strides between days until it's completely gone

Yea man happened to me too. Mine turned to mercer and had to get IV antibiotics
It really sucks. Its not even so much cleaning it. Its the fact that your skin is contaminated

 

[musclebound86]

Yea the doc was saying somthing about that. Like some people r probed to getting it over others. And I thought I was being clean so I was surprised I got it

I got it everytime I injected my calves. Never anywhere else. I always use a fresh needle and alcohol from a bottle and a sterile wipe that I cover in alcohol. For me I have issues hitting smaller muscles.

I got an infection once in my calf too, I have stayed away since
