First case of cellulitis

[mojolnir]

Hmm this is an interesting thread.....Sometimes I get red swollen and hot spots but they go away on their own.....how exactly do you tell if its cellulitis?

FOr me the red area was hot as hell and about a 6" circle that cover my whole delt and half my upper arm. Also my delt was so sore you couldnt hardly tough it and my skin was as tight as a drum.

Another thing I noticed when I had my case was that the skin was not only red, a bit swollen, painful, and hot to the touch but it also looked like I had goose bumps on my skin. It looked like my skin was actually cold and had goose bumps.
Once the infection gets bad enough you get a high fever and it may become blood bourne, and then it spreads to other parts of your body.

Like Massive G said.....watch your tendons!

that antibiotic is really bad for causing tendon tears

about 2 years ago i had this in my leg everything you had i did also including the goose bumps... my stupid ass waited until the swelling got all the way down to my knee and made it impossible to bend the knee. doctor gave me IV of antibiotics 3 days in a row and oral for 2 weeks straight

Hey MG or AD-I cut my weights in about half this week to be keep the tendons safe. How long after i finish Levaquin should the tendons be safe and i can return to heavier weights.

I would get rid of the bottle of steroids as well. It could easily have bacterial contamination and could be the cause of the problem.

i had to have 2 abcesses drained. in my thigh and shoulder. the shopulder was from usingh underground suspension. the leg i think i just was careless with sterilizing needle or top of the bottle.

but they wrote it up as cellulitus, because that's really what it is. wasnt a pleasant experience. this was years ago, 7-8 years ago. more careful now, obviously.

I used to have it in my thigh.
Use coconut oil or tea tree oil.. I don't remember exactly the useage, just apply it directly on the cellulitis. wait for few hours then wash it with water.
That's my tips.

As Thor mentioned, I had a pretty good case of cellulitis a little over a year ago. I posted a thread about it. Painful and pretty nasty looking, but they caught it quickly and treated me with antibiotics. You'll be fine. Smart move going to the doctor though. Some guys choose to wait it out, that's when they run into problems.
