Default Went to ER....have staph infection

About 4 days ago, I noticed my left non-RSD arm was sore, warm to touch, skin was tight, redness, & I had limited range of motion. I tried to ignore it, but last night I realized something was wrong. Talked to my primary doc on the phone & he said it sounded like a blood clot & to go to the ER. ER ran tests & gave me several i.v. meds & sent me home w/ more meds. They said it was a staph infection. I have to go to my primary doc in a few days & see if it's getting any better & go from there. It was quite the adventure at the ER, as always. I will add more details when I am feeling a little better. It's a pain because I have RSD in my right arm & now staph in my good arm. Hoping all the antibiotics will help.
