    Necrotizing fasciitis
    I just got out of the hospital with flesh eating disease. I have an open wound and just finished my 10th treatment in the hyperbaric chamber. Yesterday I fell down the steps and got a big bruise on my left thigh. Tonight my whole body is itchy and all of my muscles are sore and feel very weak. I also have a slight fever and nausea... should I be concerned?

    With your history... call your doctor just to be safe.

    Normally I wouldn't say that... but most people didn't go through what you did recently.

    Whenever you have a fever, always take a fever reducer like Tylenol first, to see if it works, even temporarily. If it doesn't, go to an ER. If it does, call the doctor.
