Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Well, I spent 4 h ours in the ER on Sunday. I saw my doc on Wednesday and he put me on an antibiotic for an infection with a bug bite on my leg. It got worse and worse over the weekend despite the antibiotic; so off to the ER. It also became very painful to walk. The ER doc gave me an IV dose of vancomycin and changed the antibiotic; Today I went so my own doc could inspect it again and he said he is sure was a spider bite; but it did not look like it had enlarged (it is on my right leg). He changed me back to the original antibiotic. I am utting hot compresses on it also. It is still very painful to walk. If anyone gets what looks like a mosquito bite, but is bigger and lasts longer, go to the doc as toxic spider bite can cause all kinds of problems.
