So here are some pictures of my knee-back story here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9448501

This is right after it happened (Thursday afternoon)..you can see the knots/bruise



This was last night..



Today. WTF is wrong with my knee/leg...it looks gross!! :puke: It just keeps spreading. I now have swelling in my thigh and my calf, as well as "pouches" of the cellulites. :scared:

1. You really did a number on your leg,,,

cellulitis can take a while to heal and can come back. I'm glad you went to the doctor. Hope you mend quickly!

2. Thanks..

I hope it gets better quickly too. And I definitely don't want it to come back. :-)

3. I wish you better luck than what I had when something similar happened to me. Mine was

in Kmart, and produce on the floor. I went to the doctor, he said nothing was wrong. It was still quite sore and got achy a lot. Went back to the doc, he said "nothing wrong losing a few pounds won't cure" That was about 10+ years ago. Today I have arthritis and bursitis in said knee and my NEW doc said probably caused by or at least aggravated by the fall. I so wish I'd gotten a second opinion.

4. Are you on antibiotics for the cellulitis?

I'd check back with the Dr. since your swelling is spreading.

5. Yes...

I'm on antibiotics, starting taking them Friday after I saw the doctor. I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow after I have my x-ray, I'll probably send him a picture and see what he thinks.

Today I'm sitting with it elevated and have heat on it.
