So I went to a VA hospital last month because of an infection I had underneath my toenail. Very painful to the point where I passed out three times while trying to get help. I was diagnosed with Cellulitis, was prescribed antibiotics and discharged that same day. Fast forward about two days, the infection ruptures and oozes completely out and my toe instantly feels relieved.. except now it looks like it had gastric bypass surgery and is in serious need of a tummy tuck. Just a bunch of loose skin from the swelling. Anywho, fast forward another couple of days to me getting out of the shower and as I'm drying myself, my toenail came completely off in one clean swipe. The entire this. There was no pain, only slight discomfort. I continue to take the antibiotics as prescribed and I notice some issues. My joints are swelling, diarrhea that won't seem to go away even after 3/4weeks, body aches, fever that comes n goes, fatigued, the works. I decided to look at my lab results from the day I went to the hospital. Urine, Blood, all that fun stuff. After doing some research, I noticed that many tests (hemoglobin and all the little things) are low. Not just one or two but like 8 -10 I think. No one at the hosp[ital told me anything, brought it up, asked me to follow up, nothing. Its been a littl eover a month now. My toe is completely numb. I hardly feel a anything from it with the exception of water being at a certain hot or cold temp.. i think its my nerves reacting to it but at certain degrees, Ill start to feel shooting pains from my big toe. Also when I step a certain way, even throughout the day, it just shoots that pain right up my foot. Also, something new: My zits, ingrown hairs, blemishes and even OLD piercing sites (im talking over 10yrs old) are getting really infected easily and they get really bad. My old belly button piercing started to hurt yesterday and today its comepletely swollen, red, hot to the touch and has discharge. Same description for the pimples, old snake bite piercings , etc. They just keep oozing and swelling and they hurt like hell. Im getting random rashes (i think they might be caused by all the stress being put on my body mixed with my anxiety and stress... my body is freaking out and can only react by breaking out in rashes/hives.) There's also a pimple(?), spider bite(?), idk what it is really... but it's getting pretty bad. It looks like an old burn mark that just keeps oozing. It looks like something off of Freddy Kruger's face... but its on the bottom of my left butt cheek. My belly button seems to getting worse faster than anything else. That infection site is HOTT its noticeably swollen and has a grey/clear discharge the hurts when trying to squeeze it out but also never really comes out. Very little not worth the pain. Within the past hour, my stomach is hurting more and more kinda like I'm bloated with gas. The main area of the pain and discomfort is kinda right behind the infection site... it starting to hurt to sit, stand and walk. Like as I step, my stomach reacts by doing what I can only describe as an "air flip". Like if a socket of air trapped in your stomach decides to do a backflip or back handspring.... why do I have the feeling that Im gonna die..? That would suck yo. If I do go, NO FUNERAL, Passion Party in my Memory and celebrate my life and everything I did to help others and for trying to make our tomorrows better than our yesterdays. #SomeoneDiagnoseMe

Hello guest.
Your situation sounds very serious and requires immediate medical attention. Please go to an emergency room or contact a doctor right away.
The symptoms you're describing, including multiple infected sites on your body, swelling, pain, ongoing fever, and other systemic issues, suggest a significant and potentially dangerous condition. It could be related to the original cellulitis, the antibiotics, or an entirely different issue. Your lab results, which you mentioned showed multiple abnormalities, are also concerning.
It's imperative to be evaluated by a physician in person as soon as possible. They will be able to provide a diagnosis, advise on treatment options, and potentially address the complications you're experiencing. If you're unable to drive yourself or get a ride, please consider calling an ambulance. Your health and safety are of utmost importance.
Take care.
