Spider Bite?

[DianaB]

She's still not feeling well. Her arm has been aching and her fingers have felt almost numb and last night she started getting a headache. Today she went to school and I told her if she didn't start feeling better to call me. Sure enough, she called, so while I was in town I ran her back by the doctor's office. He gave her another steroid shot in her hip and another one in her arm by the bug bite. He doesn't think that it's the bite that's causing her trouble, but it's real sore around the bite and all of her problems are in that arm, except for the headache. He did say that if it is from the bug bite she could have problems from it for a week! I feel so sorry for her. She really hurts and has been in tears ever since I brought her home. At least the weekend is coming up and she can get some rest without missing school.

Oh your poor daughter. I feel sorry for her too...I hate it when our kids cry because they are not feeling well. I'm surprised though that if he didn't really think it was because of the bite...why he went ahead and treated her for that instead of checking it out a little further.

Poor thing!!!!!!!! I really hate to hear this! Tell that doctor to give her some pain pills...some of the good stuff! Hope she is all well very soon!

She took a couple of ibuphrophen and took a nap and she's finally feeling better. She's acting better than she was and she says that her hand feels better.

The doctor said that to give anitvenom medicine is dangerous and could cause death just in itself so he didn't think that that was an option. He still didn't think that it was a spider bite. It's healed to where you can barely see where it was at but it's been really sore around it so I'm sure her not feeling well is because of it. I'm just relieved that she's feeling better. I'm going to have her keep taking the ibuphrophen for awhile.

Thanks guys for your concern.
