Anyone ever had a cellulitis infection? I got one yesterday in my leg and I went to the emergency room. I thought it was a blood clot. My leg looks like a tree trunk and I've got some decent bruising.

Sorry to hear about that. I've never had it but have heard of some folks who have. What type of treatment did they prescribe for you?

I was just laid out for 2 weeks for the same thing except on my bottom and the dr used that as a diagnosis. It cleared up really fast once I started using the the antibiotics. He said it was a scrape or an abrasion that got infected. I got it after riding on a roller coaster, so to all who want to ride coasters be carefull and pad your seat before getting on. I know the roller coaster subject came up before on here, at that time I didnt have much to offer on the subject until now.
