[|Human|] I was playing in a softball tournament this past weekend and slid into home plate. It resulted in a skin abrasion on the left side of my left legs shin bone. It s about 10 inches long and 3 inches wide. I also have a 3 inch scrap about an inch wide on the inside of my right knee. Both abrasions were really soar after it happened but I was able to finish the rest of the game and walk with a small limp the rest of the day. Sunday night was restless when it came to sleep but, nothing compared to Monday night. I had a relentless leg throb in both legs all night long. I slept a total of 45 mins. Last night I actually slept through the night while keeping the larger of the two abrasions outside out the blanket while I slept. They have both had a lot of heat coming off them ranging at a 7-8 on a 1 to 10 scale. They have both been oozing a clear to diluted yellow puss. My skin is hard and tight around the larger of the two abrasions and it s tender to the touch. I ve also had a fever on and off since this has happened Sunday afternoon. The most pain I feel from all of this though is when I attempt to walk. I ve been out of work all week because It s too painful to walk on my legs. I ve been on bed rest keeping my legs elevated on pillows. The only time I get off the bed is to use the restroom and shower. The moment I shift my legs to the edge of the bed and proceed to put my weight down on them to walk to the bathroom I feel an intolerable heart throb in my legs. I walk on my toes on my left leg and i brace myself on my right leg with a hop between leg shifts. I cry every time I shower and use the restroom because the pain is so intense. If I can hold onto something to keep a lot of the weight off of my legs It doesn t hurt as bad so, needless to say I ve been using a lot upper body strength to get around. I don t feel any pain when I lay in bed with my legs elevated but the pain grows intensely when I attempt to walk. I ve been taking Tylenol extra strength 500mg (1) before I got to sleep every night. The abrasions are developing scabs around the outsides but, the center is still a foggy yellow colored scab. What is the best pain killer to ingest? What is the best abrasion dressing to use? What is the best ointments for abrasions? I m a 23 year old female. Please help.
[|AI|]  1) Tylenol is enough for abrasions, or you can take NSAIDs like Ibuprofen for pain relief2)As the wound is big it is bound to take some time to heal completely. The foggy part in the center is exudate and antibody collection that will help in healing. 3) Abrasions are best left uncovered for faster healing. I would suggest and antibiotic ointment like Tobramycin to prevent wound infection4) I would also like to suggest getting an X-ray done if not already done. Thank you. Stay fit and happy recovery.
