In May of this year, I spent 5 days in the hospital with cellulitis (sp) in my left lower leg. The antibiotics seemed to work, but I don t think that the swelling ever completely went away. Now, over the last couple days, I ve noticed a warm, red, very tender, even painful area above that knee & continuing up my inner thigh. It has become painful just to walk & I can feel it when I m just laying down.
Dear patient Painful red and tender swelling suggests of cellulitis. You have got recurrence of cellulitis which is common in diabetic patient. You need to take urgent visit to surgeon nearby you and start antibiotics intravenously for 7 days.  Also reason for recurrent cellulitis should be searched. Besides take tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for pain and swelling relief.  All the best.
