Hi, I was bitten by a dog a few days ago. I went to the emergency room the following morning and received some IV anti-biotics and a prescription for a weeks dosage of the same (the bite was infected, not severely - it did not spread). The bite is behind my right knee (knee pit) and the most painful the punctures was right on top of the inside tendon. My question is in relation to my work. I recently acquired a job which requires standing for 10 hours a shift. The ER doctor estimated that I could return to work in a week but his assessment was brief and I m worried that the tendon may be damaged. I m worried about long term damage if I return to work. As of right now, I can not put any weight on the leg without severe pain. I have an appointment with a clinic tomorrow to check up on the wound but would like multiple opinions. I d rather lose the job and heal properly than risk a life long injury. Thank you, Colin Fischer
