You might correct, though @Liset Keeping your elbows bent for long periods of time is probably not a good thing…while puzzling

@Nita_Davis uh oh, I hope all is ok with your elbow. Are they giving you something? Please do rest and allow to heal! We all want you better!Did they recommend to use ice or heat? That may help as well. Maybe elevate a bit to allow any fluids to drain toward shoulder and out.

Oh no, that sounds really uncomfortable @Nita_Davis 
. I hope your elbow heals quickly! It’s great that you still managed to get some painting and building done before resting. Take it easy and get all the sleep you need; your project will be waiting for you when you’re feeling better.

Thank you so much @jeanneL I wasn’t going to ask for prayers because many don’t believe in them. I do! Very much appreciated as my elbow is swelling even more after 2nd dose of antibiotics. Seeing doc again tomorrow.

I SO appreciate you @jeanneL . My sister was bitten by a brown recluse almost 15 years ago. She dealt with things I could never wish on my worst enemy. They wanted to amputate her foot twice and she wouldn’t let them. She finally succumbed to the many traumas this caused after fighting the necrosis for 13 years. I pray that I wasn’t bitten by one because this came on very fast after a sharp pain in my elbow.
If you needed any advise feel free to private message me and hopefully I can give you some advice. Get well soon dear.

Oh you poor thing @Nita_Davis, I hope it settles soon for you. I had a similar situation with my shoulder and it is just exhausting living with pain. Thankfully a cortisone injection in my neck sorted it out. I feel for you xx

OMG. not the first time I have heard of this with that darn spider, neighbor had similar. Hoping that is not what happened to you. Keep on top of it and make the docs be thorough with you and not layed back!
I luckily had an appointment with my rheumatologist today and she referred me to an orthopedic surgeon I had seen for the amputation of my finger. He was (thankfully) able to squeeze me in today. He just gave me a different (stronger) antibiotic, but told me if I saw no improvement within a couple of days to go to ER. @jeanneL Thanks for your concern. All prayers welcomed.
