Angie get to the doc ... Do you have a temp yourself , and / or are you feeling achy? This could be the start of cellulitis or phlebitis. Dont mess around with this . Get to the doc or ER right away!! I mean it! This is not something to mess around with!
Take care Bethy

100% agree with Bethy -- could be a clot (I've had several and those are some of the symptoms!). Get to the ER as soon as you can!! And keep us posted.
Love, Candy |

Angie don't wait till Thursday -- go to the ER *NOW.* I'm serious. If it's a clot you risk it breaking off and moving into your lung, which can kill you. If it's cellulitis (which I've also had, medical wreck that I am), you can develop a terrible infection that will land you in the hospital on heavy-duty IV antibiotics.
Pleasepleaseplease, pretty please go get it looked at right away. Please. I worry. Love, Candy |

Candybear is right. My husband woke up one morning with a red streak running up his leg; by evening he was vomiting. He went to the ER the next morning and discovered he had cellulitis and was hospitalized on IV antibiotics for a week.
I have had a blood clot turn into septicemia (blood poisoning) over the course of 2-3 days... that can be fatal. Please don't wait, please go to the ER right away. |

Oh my goodness, I'm so relieved!!!!!
Be careful with the spider bite though and take good care of yourself. Jan starts breathing again because she got scared and accidentally held her breath. Love and hugs, Jan
