Hi Everyone, Just a reminder I had what I thought was  cellulitus June 2011 and June 2012.The doctor is quite sure I had cellulitis and lymphangitis the first time and a viral infection the second time as antibiotics didn't work but valacyclovir did.

He said inflammation is not helped by antibiotics and I though they were....only inflammatories. I went off celebrex for 10 weeks and now have to see a neck surgeon for severe pain in my neck. They don't dare do therapy without his permission because my neck is severe arthritis and something about discs. Also when I went of my sed rate went up. I am back on celebrex.

He told me how important MLD is and to use my arm which I haven't been but will do.
