Accident prone week.

Hi, Any advice please. After hitting my shin with a piece of wood my leg became swollen and hot and I went for antibiotics. After a week it was not improving and after an xray I have a hairline fracture. I was then stung on the head just above the ear by a bee. My husband removed the stinger but the pain was unbelievable. It was like having a head injury. I felt sick, headache, tired, dizzy. I took antihistamines and used ice. For two days now I have felt unwell. Even more fog headed.

Is this a lupus thing or general bee reaction. I react more and more these days. But am somewhat concerned the pain will not go as I find injury, particularly nerve pain stays these days like it has a memory. Any thoughts.

Interested in any responses you get Jo. I had a reaction to my flu jab. Sounds like you've had a hell of a week. Watch out for cellulitis. My mum had that on her shin and it took forever to go. Hope you are feeling better soon

Thanks. It looked liked the beginning of cellulitis. Didn't want it progressing. Finally the headache has gone. The grands behind my ear are up now along with my throat. My bodies doing its best.
