griff Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Ouch Merledogs that looks nasty is it celulitis??? hope your gigantic hand shrinks back to normal size soon jazz spins hope your coil settles down sorry i worried you Jane i have been brave and had a shower with my new zoggs ear plugs in i didn't hang about it wasn't very comfortable. both of mine have had cartrophen jabs, diez did o.k on them and laney...well they had no effect at all on him but i think that may have been as he had polyarthritis i think if it hasn't worked by the third injection you won't see any improvement at all. sorry you have had a horrid weekend snow neighbours can be such tits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trallwm farm Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) RMPics of the Elephant Hand : I have been to the docs to pic up prescription, but not to the pharmacy to collect it yet. That looks like Cellulitus. You need to get antibiotics. You can get very ill with it. Owl used to visit me in hospital when I had it. Get your prescription down your throat. I was in hospital for weeks and I was on crutches for ages. It looks like a bike pump bit you. Edited July 26, 2010 by Trallwm farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Ouch Merledogs that looks nasty is it celulitis??? Alex you need to get to A & E. I had that happen to me in the 80's and ended up with my arm in a sling. It's full of poison and won't get better on it's own. That looks like Cellulitus. You need to get antibiotics. You can get very ill with it.Owl used to visit me in hospital when I had it. Get your prescription down your throat. I was in hospital for weeks and I was on crutches for ages. It looks like a bike pump bit you. You should have seen it last time I had it - it was right up to the top of my hand after a few days. I have been to the docs this evening to pick up a prescription for Fluoxesomething or other and I have Penicillin which I have left from last time which I am taking in the meantime. Thanks for your concern The doc did mention Cellulitis on the phone, no idea what it is so will go and Google it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs B Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I started reading back, but you're RMF-ing faster than I can find time to read. Very important RMF coming up. Tonight I met a Fugee - well, actually Tigger and I have been meeting her every Monday night for the last five weeks - but it was only as I said 'goodbye' and handed over "Mrs B's Pilchard/Pilchard and Garlic Treats" that we found out that I am 'that' Mrs B. This is another Fugee who is a member of Tigger's Harem! Actually, I didn't think that Fugees knew where Lincoln is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mark your limb with a pen in hospital to check the infection isnt spreading. On a plus side if you go to football matches you wont need to pay out for a foam hand.

snow Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Alex my mum had cellulitis I'd never heard of it until then - and it was very nasty indeed so please keep a good eye on how your hand is looking Every now and again I am reminded of just how far technology has come in such a short time ..... I've just moved 100GB of stuff onto my external HD not only does that still leave 140 GB of stuff on my main pc HD with about the same free space but the external one now has almost 200 GB on it and space for another 275 gb's of stuff. I remember when I got my first 1gb HD I thought it was impossible to fill that much space and yet today I've filled that several hundred times over When I bought the 500Gb drive about 6 months ago I thought that would last me years ..... eeep it's almost half full already my first pc ran on a teeny fraction of that .....

merledogs Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Morning Its one of those things that if you have had it once you can get it again. They mark your limb with a pen in hospital to check the infection isnt spreading. On a plus side if you go to football matches you wont need to pay out for a foam hand. I did draw a line in pen on my arm at lunchtime yesterday and it's still around the same mark, so the Penicillin must be doing something. Elephant hand feels a teensy bit better this morning, will collect the Fluoxestuff on my way into work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks for the This is the third coil I've had. Never had problems before and as it's part of my HRT I really, really want to hang on to it. The GP wanted to remove it but I refused so he's given me antibiotics and said come back "in a couple of days". I said, "OK, see you on Friday." He was VERY firm and said it has to be Wednesday or Thursday and I have to have a chaperone nurse in as well - so we all know what that means!! So fingers crossed that the antibiotics kick in soon. I'm amazed you are still needing HRT at all...I took it for seven years, stopped when I was about 54 and have had no problems at all..no hot flushes or anything! Hope it soon stops hurting Alex, that hand looks really painful, how long did the doc say it should take to go down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura_E Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Just watching This Morning and they have a man on that has been nick named 'The Bionic Vet' because of his pioneering veterinary treatments. He just said that all sentient beings should have the same rights, which I quite liked. Will have to watch the program on BBC1 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
