Psymonkee is getting thinner....

Well then. The doctor I saw today thinks I may be suffering from fat necrosis which will apparently go away by itself, likely over a period of months. Awesome.

Not totally sure the infection has gone personally as I still get a burning/stabbing sensation in the out edge of my leg. (The solid lump is on the inside of the leg below the knee)

Ended up with a bunch of co-codamol and told to wait it out. I'm thinking if nothings changed in a month they might be wrong. Again.
 
1 week on and the leg is still painful and feels hot to the touch, especially in comparison to other parts of the leg :(

Think I'll try and see yet another doctor and see if this can't be looked at again, I'm sure this is still infected. Failing that I'll see a vet - at least you can pay a small fee to see them the same day :p
 
Was back at the docs yesterday again. Saw the same GP Registrar who gave me the first course of anti-biotics. She had another look, took my temperature and decided I probably wasn't infected but I insisted.

She gets a 2nd opinion from another doctor who takes a look, feels my leg and says that I need antibiotics for what appears to be lingering cellulits. Victory, kinda.

See how this course pans out as it's still painful to squat which doesn't help when doing Stronglifts :s
 
Not a whole lot tbh. Asked to get reffered to Dermo but they want to wait and see how the antibiotics work first :/

Everything goes so very slowly in the NHS. Wish I had the cash to go private :\
 
Decent improvement but still concern over the heat in my leg and the swelling. Reread the dermo notes and a further 2 weeks of antibiotics. Fingers crossed this does the trick....

In the meantime I'm going to try some light rowing on the machine and see if it still hurts....
 
Good log. I wouldn't bother tryinf carb cycling etc, if you're that big the weight will fall off just by eating healthier food and keeping calories in check (say 30/30/40) carbs/proteins /fats (or around 1/3rd each)

Hope your health improves!
 
From what I did try it was alright to start with but I did struggle to get enough veg/salad down which made things.....uncomfortable at times.

Hoping my leg is better soon as well, got lots of pent up energy and doing arm stuff doesn't really cut it :(
 
Been back at the doctors today and the leg is still tender and got to the touch. Been given a different antibiotic to try this time so I'll see how that goes.

My leg is a little better however in the fact I can now use the rowing machine without pain so I shall be resuming that one I shake this pesky cold I got for my holiday.....
 
So it seems the antibiotic has done little to nothing at all. Awesome. That's Flucloxacillin and Doxycylcline Hyclate that haven't worked.

Going to push for a referral to dermo I think as I still think this is cellulitis that refuses to budge.

The rowing idea kinda fell by the wayside with a few too many things going on after work, hopefully get back on that soon - can't do anymore damage to the leg right? :s
