Suggest Treatment For Swelling,painful Hard Spots And Numbness In Legs
i was in the hospital and had cellulitis in my lower left leg. I was on antibiotics for 7 days.I still have alot of swelling and several really hard spots on my leg that are extremely painful. Now I have numbness in my foot. I cant hardly walk because the pain is so bad. I was in the hospital for 3 days. I had a fever again this morning. Should I go back to the doctor or wait for a few days if not better?
Hi I think you should get cbc esr crp get done along with this you should have strict bed rest and elevation of your leg along eith ice application whole day till your skin gets wrinckle. You should consult your doctor for intravenous antibiotic treatement for better results. Get well soon. Thank you.
