I am 34 yrs old and suffer from cellulitis of the leg. Mine started out as blisters and very quickly led to 105 degree temperature, chills and fatigue. I hate it. I was in the hospital for 10 days under IV medication with another 10 days of IV meds as outpatient. Mine began with a simple scratch. Anyone can get this and it is EXTREMELY painful.
T1psy if you ever got close to a person suffering cellulitis you wouldn't be judging. It's such a horrible infection and commonly seen in hospital wards. Show some compassion for this poor lady.
That's not the case here. The nurses also do a great job, but owing to the severity of the wound and the depth too, the presence of a Qualified Doctor was imperative.
In any case, the job that a Nurse does is tremendous.Your profession is a Gift from the Almighty!!!!
@zuniga6412 It really is an difficult profession and frankly speaking, all the credit goes to the doctors instead of the nurses!!!Thanks for watching...
@venture1123 Your right. The nurses do all thy dirty work and then some. They don't get paid enough and some doctors don't appreciate nurses like they should.
@venture1123 maybe where you are nurses dont do much but in the U.S. all of this would have been by the nurse not the doctor. I am a nurse and dress wounds like this all of the time.
The video has been put up for people to get to know what cellulitis is and what is the pain one goes thru'.Also, I have mentioned that the hospital in which she had been put up does great work !!Regards & thanks
I am fighting a cellulitis in my lower left leg now but it is nothing like this poor woman's! I am shocked that they did not debred the area before wrapping it!!! Debredment, pressure dressings and steroid cream with weekly wound dressing changes and this heals more rapidly! God bless her!
@RibberDibber11 Inflamation of the skin layers. Dozens of causes for this (surgery gone wrong, burns, blisters and so on) and if your immune system is down, you got something to scare your grandchildren.
Don't they need to fully wash with disinfecting soap the whole leg and then apply all the needed medications to treat it? I mean, its like a fungus, clean with antibacterial soap, rinse with fresh water and then apply the treatment... The smell???
i had it on my arm and i had to have like6 sugries to get rid of plus a major arm sugery at the end trust me its the most painfulest thing you could ever have and im still having pain from the sugery i was in the hospital for two months plus i had it for 8 months and needed a pick line dont ever wish for it cause its the worst
OMG!!! I had to have a surgical incision on my abdomen packed since it wouldnt heal. The taking out of the packing was the worst pain I ever had, and the entire neighborhood could hear me scream when my home nurse changed it. They came running over to the house, as they thought I had fallen. I wouldnt wish this pain on anyone. Hope you are feeling better now.
Sedatives aren't safe, they should only be used in extreme necessity. Painkillers don't work on infections, there's too much blood. Its ust one of those horrible, horrible things.
In December 2007, I had cellulitis from Streptococcus Pyogenes, aka type A strep. I didn't have to have any incisions to debride skin or to relieve compartment syndrome. I did have complete renal failure, atrial fibrillation, and a resting heartbeat of 168. Fortunately, I got morphine by IV every 4 hours. I ended up missing 7 weeks of work and had to wear a compression hose for several months to compensate for the damaged blood vessels. I was very lucky.
@steemguitardude Cellulitis is any infection that causes widespread cell irritation via a bacterial route. S. pyogenese, commonly known as type A strep is the same bacteria that you get a sore throat from. It sometimes just decides to set up shop somewhere, often distally and in areas of reduced circulation. Early treatment is important. It can cause severe heart damage, and sometimes results in amputation.
let me just say this is nothing compared to what my aunt is going through right now. She weighed 256lbs when she went into the hospital in march and now she weighs 203. She has it on her abdomen. The weight loss if from all the dead tissue they have cut of her. The screaming she is doing is what my aunt sounds like when they change her dressing. It makes you cry too! :(...
I understand this disease well too as I had similiar cuts in the upper thigh. However, it never got this bad due to a new system of VACUM with foam insert in the wounds and negative (sucking air pump) pressure on the wound that cleaned out the wound and forced healing. Much less painfull too. Send us an up date on what happen to your mother in law after this. Look for my video 'Cellulitis is a bad thing'.
i got mine from a insect bite was a tiny nat i think can also get it from blisters ,cuts or anything that brakes the skin even a tattoo and mostly affects the legs and face , started off as a small red heat patch then my leg just blew up like a balloon was like a tree trunk no joke , and was hospitalised with high boosts of antibiotics injected like 6 times aday was horrible if left untreated would have lost my leg so was lucky
I had the same thing on my left leg but it was on my calf. I was in the hospital for 2 months. I tell u, every time they changed the dressing, it was extremely painful. That was 2 years ago. Now I get them like once every 2-3 months. I dont know why. Im just prone to them. We definitely need more advancements in the medical field.
I have been battling cellulitis for 2 months now all the way around my lower leg to my foot and it has been extremely painful, but after I saw your mother-n-law I see that I have a lot to be thankful for.
I was hospitalized for 7days IV antibotics
still taking antibotics..
My heart goes out to her.
