I was playing in a softball tournament this past weekend and slid into home plate. It resulted in a skin abrasion on the left side of my left legs shin bone. It s about 10 inches long and 3 inches wide. I also have a 3 inch scrap about an inch wide on the inside of my right knee. Both abrasions were really soar after it happened but I was able to finish the rest of the game and walk with a small limp the rest of the day. Sunday night was restless when it came to sleep but, nothing compared to Monday night. I had a relentless leg throb in both legs all night long. I slept a total of 45 mins. Last night I actually slept through the night while keeping the larger of the two abrasions outside out the blanket while I slept. They have both had a lot of heat coming off them ranging at a 7-8 on a 1 to 10 scale. They have both been oozing a clear to diluted yellow puss. My skin is hard and tight around the larger of the two abrasions and it s tender to the touch. I ve also had a fever on and off since this has happened Sunday afternoon. The most pain I feel from all of this though is when I attempt to walk. I ve been out of work all week because It s too painful to walk on my legs. I ve been on bed rest keeping my legs elevated on pillows. The only time I get off the bed is to use the restroom and shower. The moment I shift my legs to the edge of the bed and proceed to put my weight down on them to walk to the bathroom I feel an intolerable heart throb in my legs. I walk on my toes on my left leg and i brace myself on my right leg with a hop between leg shifts. I cry every time I shower and use the restroom because the pain is so intense. If I can hold onto something to keep a lot of the weight off of my legs It doesn t hurt as bad so, needless to say I ve been using a lot upper body strength to get around. I don t feel any pain when I lay in bed with my legs elevated but the pain grows intensely when I attempt to walk. I ve been taking Tylenol extra strength 500mg (1) before I got to sleep every night. The abrasions are developing scabs around the outsides but, the center is still a foggy yellow colored scab. What is the best pain killer to ingest? What is the best abrasion dressing to use? What is the best ointments for abrasions? I m a 23 year old female. Please help.
