I've had it twice. What I want to know is, can you get it even around an already-closed wound? The foot I got the stitches in the bottom of a few months ago hurts again just like it did then. I can't tell if it's all red and puffy, because most of the bottom of my foot looks red and puffy.

My calf hurts too.

I'm so tired of all this. Kurt Vonnegut wrote a short story once where humanity had evolved out of bodies. They kept the really attractive ones in a warehouse for parades and things, and people could rent them out for an afternoon or something, jump in, then jump out and nobody ever got sick, etc. It sounds lovely to me.

my son in law gets it lately and not an open wound so my guess would be yes. get it looked at tomorrow!

My Uncle gets it at least once a year like clockwork, and he has never had an open wound with it.

For about 3 yrs in a row I got it like every 6 months on my tummy where my hysterectomy incision is. It had no open wounds there. So yes it can happen. Please get yourself to a doctor ASAP. As you know this is nothing to mess around with!! I'm so sorry your going thru this! Its definitely scarey. I hope everything turns out ok. Here to support you.

I have an appt. with a foot dr. tomorrow anyway, so will just let him figure it out. Bottom of my foot still hurts, but since I spent the entire weekend sleeping, not so much as it did. Maybe it's just that I wear cheap shoes, I dunno.

Thanks for caring, everyone.
