[|Human|] Yes please answer my question. I had a Scooter accident on May 10th 2014.. My Doctor had changed the medication 3 times . Doctor first gave me Clindamyon 300Mg. with Sulfmaeth 800/160 for 10days. The infection did not get better .then I went back to my sane Doctor he changes the antibiotic to Amox-Clav 875 mg for 10 days . Infection no better just becoming more painful and more swollen. Went back to my same DR, he changed the antibiotic to Doxycline for 10 days.. not better.... I took my roommate to his Doctor s referral to see a broken bone specialist. He saw my leg so swollen it appears as if it s two legs from 2 people. This Dr. Stated that I need a wound care Specialist I feel as if My Doctor has been playing games with my life. It has been 30 days and my leg is so infected that it making me sick. I finally received a call A from a Wound Care Management Doctor whom is traveling from Jacksonville. I was so sick and did mot sleep for 48 hours from the pain and suffering that I have endured. I missed the call.. She will be in Daytona today. I am scared this has turned into a staff infection. My Doctor did not drain nor did he seem to be trained in this area. I had to use anger to get him to listen to me. I gave his office a choice to take care of this now or I would change Doctors That is the reason he gave me a referral. The infection is located about 5 inches above my left knee cap. And all around the infection it is swollen with knots all around my upper leg. None of the medication has helped. I trusted this Doctor . I am not a name dropper so I won t mention any names. If I stand on my legs for more than 10 minutes my legs becomes so swollen all of the way to my ankle ,that I can hardly walk. Could this have turned into something that is so serious that I may need to be hospitalized and given interveinious antibiotics . I have Humana Insurance which pays 100% . I am hurt by the Doctor keep telling me that it leg was looking GOOD when in fact it is worse !!! I have someone in my home that is pregnant or I would of driven myself to Bert Fish Hospital which is 20 miles away ,but the best Hospital and the Doctors there will not allow a patient to leave until they check one thoroughly. My Doctor did not take blood sample or X-ray.. Underneath my right arm there is a knot and the pain from this knot travels up my arm around to my right shoulder and to my back. My Doctor finally gave me a referral for a CT . This apt, is not until next Monday. I feel as this is serious . Please give me your advise. It has taken me 45 minutes to compose this letter due to the fact that the pain on the right underarm and shoulder is so bad . I could scream .As well as my left foot and leg continues to swell any pressure on my left leg even just to sit causes it to become more swollen it is red and a hole about a 1/2 inch deep with yellow ,green and brown drainage After I see the Infection Management Doctor arrives in Daytona today and get her advise I believe I should consider change my Doctor. Thank you for the future advise and consideration you can give me.. Have A Blessed Morning. Jeannie Mitchem.
[|AI|]  In my opinion you have osteomyelitis which is bone infection antibiotics success rate against osteomyelitis is very low so surgical removal of the segment if bone infected is the best option, (it is not amputation it is just like scratching infected layers of bone)your arm pain is a bad sign as it could mean infection is spreading one more advice (do not take vitamins as the bacteria will benefit from it more than you) if I was your doctor I would have preformed an MRI or a CT scan first thing Good Luck
