I know the pain you are talking about! I had a cellulitis after having my clot. They are very hard to diagnose but they have so many symptoms which are simialr to clots.Originally Posted by Pamela
i spent 3 hours in the er and am NOT satisfied with the service. dr diagnosed me with cellulitis after looking at my hand for 2 min, listening to my symptoms(most of itme we had to write back and forh) then gave me 2 mediences- 1 for antibiotic and 1 for painkiller. she didn't even take blood, x ray or anything like that. i am not sure i trust her diagnosis based on that but i looked on net quickly for this and i do meet SOME of the criterias. one problem is i have NO wounds, cuts or bites so how could i have gotten this? apparently cellulitis is a skin infection- can get into blood and/or bones and apparently is very serious if not treated. dr said if i continue to feel worse to come back tmr to the ER! can u believe that??
