Good Morning from a very wet and wild south Wales.
Just thought I would let those of you interested that I am at5 last on the mend.
The itchy hot sore rash of celulitis is almost gone. I did have one little glitch where my body told me I was allergic to the first antibiotocs given to me. I have now been given some different ones and they are working great.
I also found I had a seveior buld up of lactic acid under the skin of both legs. More so in my thighs. It was almost unbearable pain and no pain m,eds were doing anything to ease it. I phoned a friend who is an athlete and he told me to try a tumbler of water with 1/2 a teaspoon of bicarbinate of soda mixed in. Drink it and it should help. I worked !. I can't beleive how much less pain I am in today. The alkaline of the bicarb works against the acid being produced by the body. So it counteracts the sore burning feeling and won't affect any meds being taken. It was rather disgusting drinking it down. But well worth it.
The pain in my right hip is getting really bad now. But my surgeon won't operate till I am stable. Which I understand. I am just glad I am only suffering with my hip again and not the swelling, burning or pain from my skin..
Glad to hear some good news! Hopefully you will be stabel enough soon to get the other one done! You will have so much more knowledge the next time as well.
Hailea so pleased our on the mend, cellulitis isn't very nice at all, I had it last year when I was bitten by a spider yep you all saw the pics in the paper my leg was just like that.... ended up in hospital for 4 days on morphine and anti-biotics, but thats another story... stay in touch Love Gill xx
I am hoping so and you are right although I am not looking forward to the right hip getting done now.But I know I have to have it done or I will have no quality of life at all.
