Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 > I have a pretty severe case of celulitis with a possible blood clot involved, My next door neighbour, who is a very fit, active man, not at all overweight, has been suffering from cellulitis. He has had a couple of stays in hospital. I believe the pain is excruciating. His leg swelled enormously. He was on meds - don't know what they were. Anyhow, here in Australia they are all different. A lot of bed rest too. He's fine now, but it did drag out over a about a month. He's back to walking and going to the gym 4 times a week. So hang in there. We're all thinking of you.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 THanks Tania,Yes, it is very painful... and I have phlebitis so if it is not better on meds, I will have to have surgery most likely. The good news is that I now I udnerstand why I was not loosing weight and know that I can start feeling better soon, one way or another! Hugs,karen ----- Original Message ----- From: mblack@...
