Suggest Treatment For Muscle Stiffness Caused By Spider Bite
I got bit by some sort of spider two nights ago on my upper arm and at first the bite was fairly itchy, swelled up a good amount and had some heat to it. Now the redness has gone down (still slightly swollen) but i have a lot of muscle stiffness in the arm that goes roughly from my shoulder to my wrist. Should I call my doctor tomorrow and make a same day appointment or should I be ok with some time?
