Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in details.
Red back spiders are known to cause painful bites in humans. About 20 percent of humans bitten by one develop symptoms all over the body and should be given required treatment. Antivenom is important in red back spider bites and if you have been given a shot then there is no need to worry. Most people recover quickly after antivenom is given. If you are still having pain then please inform your doctors and take pain relief medications.

Wish you a quick recovery.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
