Started getting sick within a few days. You should go in before something could get out of control. You may need IV antibiotics

TweetThis can happen to anyone, even from an injection at a doc office or hospital BUT the key factor with pinning at home is being as clean and sterile as possible. No reusing pins, no not taking the time to clean the injection site. I am hoping you are on your way to urgent care...

TweetYou are all the best. I greatly appreciate the feedback it means a lot to me. I'll keep y'all updated for sure.

TweetI keep antibiotics stashed just for these times...

Tweeti have never had it get that bad but an infection in your body is bad. i took amoxicillin at 800 mg 2X ed and used a heating pad on high every chance i got. the heating pad in theory does the same thing as a fever but it is local and you can get the temp higher than the low 100s.

i say this, but still recommend a doc. if it was not bad this might work but you do not want it to get bad and have to be drained, or give you a blood infection.

TweetThis is the thing. IF you already have developed an abcess, antibiotics will not just cure it. It usually needs to be drained and also you need antibiotics. Like I said, Fuzo had a drain in him for weeks and when I have had abcesses they burst, but again, antibiotics are in addition to it. Just get it checked out already

i got one from a backed up beard hair on my freaking face. a bad injection and an abcess are very easy to tell apart in my experience. that was by far the fastest anything has ever swelled up on me and by far the most painful and i only let it go for 3 days before i went in. from friday to monday it went from smaller than a golf ball to the size of a soft ball. they had to cut and drain mine and it is up there with one of the most painful experiences of my life. no lidocane or numbing to do the work because you cant inject into an infected site. then tons of very potent anti biotics. doc told me if i would have held out much longer it could have and most likely would have killed my big dumb ass. that freaking sucked bad but their was a night and day difference between the two for me and i have had wk long pain from bad hits

TweetSmalls, you there?

i learned after that experience and pay very close attention to them when i grow the old beard out. never ever ever again

TweetJust left the concentra or emericare and my BP was 155/90 heart rate 107 body temp 100 and he said it was cellulitis just like mick said... He kept saying it's staph too which confused me. He prescribed me two different antibiotics one is bacterium or something like that and the other one starts with a C I blv I'm actually waiting in walmart now for my script. He said if it gets worse come back in two- three days.

Tweetgood you got it taken care of man.. that's some scary shit
