What Causes Sharp In Leg After Taking Antibiotics For Cellulitis?
I have been diagnosed with cellulitis two years in a row now. This year I was again on an antibiotic for 10 days 3 X a day. It appears to help the skin irritations, but I have sharp shooting pains off and on from my heal to my mid thigh. Now that I am off the antibiotic the rash, swelling and pain are intensified. I am wearing compression hoses to help keep the swelling down. What kind of physician should I consult with? Vascular, Cardio, Dermatologist? Any other suggestions of what to do?
