My symptoms felt like I had sprained my foot, and then became kind of bruised underneathe. Doctor said it was cellulitis because it was also swollen. X-rays confirmed I had an infection there. Antibiotics for 2 weeks and then again for another week. It went away or so I thought.
It has returned again, back on antibiotics for another week. Swelling went down a little, but something still doesn't feel right. Dr. is making me go for an ultrasound to test my veins and arteries to see if I have a circulation problem that is affecting me not getting well. Add to the fact that I am diabetic and therefore slow healing will take place.
I'm not sure what else it can be, unless my doctor has misdiagnosed me. She seemed stumped as well, as to why I wasn't healing properly.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

getting an ultrasound is a good step, to make sure there arent problems with circulation there. I wonder if a specialist in some area may be able to help more- an orthopedic doctor, or ? I would call around and see if there is someone who might specialize in this type of problem... especially if my doctor was a bit surprised. I dont think you've been misdiagnosied per say, but it never hurts to follow through for your own piece of mind, you know.
I hope you heal soon, and feel better soon.

She could be looking for a blood clot or deep vein thrombosis. Is it possible the infection spread to the bone? Is it possible you strained your foot from protecting it while trying not to walk on it? Hang in there, hope you get well soon!
