You need to go to the emergency room. Sounds like you have an abcess. You could easily lose your arm.

 

[kandaandm]

probably an abcess....if not hot and no pain it may be sterile abcess...you need to go to your doc and have him drain it...then they'll test if for infection and in the interim they'll put u on antibiotics....do not wait....get it done

 

[Gbart]

not hijacking a thread guys but if this was to happen and one went to the emergency room what would you say caused this??? just be open about the aas or not say anything or what? always wondered this and would like to know just in case.

 

[MAINEVENT]

Get on antibiotics ASAP!

Say it was b-12 who gives a fuck if they know you juice or not would you rather lose a arm or risk your life by not goin to the doctor?

 

[Gbart]

fuck no i would get it done regardless bro not questioning the fact that anybody should go to the doc. in an emergencey as this just asked what you guys would say

 

[kandaandm]

Doctor patient confidentiality.....i told my doc both times I had an abcess in my shoulders......he didn't lecture....just took care o f it..

 

[JasonWojo]

You might get lectured, but they can't do anything about it. No they can't tell the cops, etc.

 

[JasonWojo]

Also, if you decide not to go to the docs (which is a bad decision, but whatever), I have known a couple people that successfully drained abcesses themselves with an 18g. You have to do it every day for at least a few days - until you can't aspirate any more puss. You'll also need to take some antibiotics - Keflex works well for most.

If it is to big no neddle can help, you have to cut it with a bistury, well not you a doc, and they leave a drain on the hole for 3 days and then it cose alone, before that if you can, try to take ciplofloxaxine 1000 mg every 6 hous, and if in 24 hours isnt better go to the doctor.

WOW

I HAVE DRAINED IT TWICE AND THE SHIT SEEMS TO COME BACK BUT THERE ISN'T ALOT OF PUSS THIS TIME. I AM ON 1000MG OF ANTIBIOTICS A DAY STARTED TODAY. I WILL GO TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE AND GET IT DRAINED. THE POCKET IS ABOUT A QUATER SIZED. THANKS FOR THE HELP I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

APPOINTMENT

I HAVE INSURANCE THROUGH MY COMPANY SO IT IS JUST A MATTER OF A CO PAY AND THE ANTIBIOTICS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMARROW AT 8:45 IN THE MORNING. I HAD EXPLAINED WHAT WAS GOING ON AND SHE (DOC) SAID THAT IF THERE IS NO PAIN OR REDNESS THEN IT ISN'T INFECTED. 99.9% SURE THEY WOULD DRAIN IT FOR ME. THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS I HAD NO IDEA IT COULD BE SO SERIUOSE.

Ya know I don't think that's always true, about the redness and infection that is.

it could be an infected cyst, and the reason it's not red or hurting is due to the fact the infection is only in the cyst.

I had an ovarian cyst similar to that, and it never hurt till it actually ruptured. When it did, OMG it was worse that childbirth or kidney stones either one. I got really sick from the infection as well.

The OB/GYN said that I never got sick before since the cyst pocket kept everything in there and not in the rest of my body where it could cause chaos.

If you ever have a greenish or gross looking fluid coming out of somewhere that it's not supposta be, get it checked out, lol. I hate organized medicine as a whole, but I will utilize it if I need to. This is an instance where you need to.

Good Luck man.

PAIN

WHAT WAS THE PAIN FROM? WHEN THEY OPENED IT AND RUPTURED IT, OR DID YOU DO IT YOUR SELF AND IT EXPLODED?

RECOVERY

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME ON DRAINING IT AND HAVING IT SEAL UP? HOW FAST UNTIL I CAN GEAR UP AND HIT THE GYM AGAIN?

 

[kitana]

It ruptured on it's own.

I went to the ER, and they didn't find anything wrong, so I waited a few days and I got really really sick. Went to my Dr. he gave me a script for antibiotics and a few days later I went back to the ER for 5 stitches on my tummy (I'm clumsy with knives), and they found the puss sack then. (They has to run an x-ray for the cut, to see if there was any metal or resudue in the wound).

I don't do any hard core workouts or anything like that, so I wouldn't know about recovery times or anything.

I do my yoga 3 times a week (30 mins each time), play golf (during the warm months) 2 - 3 times a week, and I work 3 or 4 days a week. That's pretty much it. I don't always "watch" what I eat, but I don't go crazy with my diet either. I pretty much eat what I want and keep it in moderation. If i start to gain a little weight, I lay off that type of food a little, and go outside and do yard work for a little while.

I don't ever want to be ''ripped" so to speak, but I don't wanna be a blob of goo either. I have a natural, slightly altheletic build and I'm happy with that.

*Although, a mini tummy tuck, and a new set of boobs wouldn't hurt either!

EXPERIENCE

I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW WHAT MY EXPERIENCE IS TOMARROW. I HATE DOCTORS OFFICE AND I KNOW THIS SOUNDS WEIRD BUT I DO NOT TRUST ANYONE WITH A NEEDLE ESPESIALY IF THERE GOING TO STAB ME WITH IT.

EXPERIENCE

THE DOCTOR TOLD ME HE DIDN'T WANT TO LANCE IT OPEN DUE TO THE SIZE AND HOW IT FELT. HE ALSO TOLD ME I HAVE BRONCHIDUS. THEN HE GAVE ME SOME ANTIBIOTICS AND TOLD ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO MAKE SURE IT ISN'T GETTING BIGGER IF SO COME BACK AND WE WILL LANCE IT OPEN. SO I WENT HOME AND DRAINED IT AND VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF PUSS CAME OUT THE REST WAS BLOOD. I THINK I WILL TAKE THE ANTI'S AND DRAIN IT EVERYOTHER DAY UNTIL I GET ONLY BLOOD. I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO GET IT LANCED OPEN DUE TO RECOVERY TIME. I GUESS I WILL BAKE MY IP OILS A COUPLE MORE TIMES BEFORE USE. THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S HELP I NEEDED TO GO TO THE DOC'S BECOUSE THE ANTIBIOTICS I WAS TAKING WOULDN'T ATTACK THE ABCESS. SO THANKS GUY'S AND GAL'S
