Get well soon!
maybe we should start a group - injured triathletes - those who can still swim with their arms can join!
The condition varies in severity but at it's worst can render a patient immobile and unable to weight bear.
Generally it presents as swelling and reddening to the affected limb, pain on palpation and movement and pain ++.
The treatment does vary according to cellular damage but is usually antibiotics and rest.
I must add that broken skin is a bad sign and needs careful wound management.
Good luck - rest and keep hydrated.

I'm talking within 24 hours or so not minutes.
All races have been cancelled until further notice(still got poision in the knee)
I have had cartilige and ligament damage 23 years ago and with the right physio there are no re-occuring problems. Hope it is some simple and you get back training soon.
Get well !
You do not want it it is poision in the soft tissue and it spread from the ankle to the groin and i am not allowed to do any form of sport for the next three months providing it clears up. A group sounds good but if we all have knackered knees we can only swim and i am not allowed to do that either.
Get well soon!
The skin started to split so it is a llllllllong course of antibiotics and rest for the forseeable future, so all events for this year have been cancelled. Have a great season.

Yes i know i was taken into hospital as the poision spread from the knee to the ankle to just below the groin. Lots of antibiotics and IV drips. Thanks for the info.
