Infection's back...we think

The swelling & pain are back, have migrated to the right shoulder. I don't know if it's because I was using the arms more, or because we started to "step down" on the pain patches and steroids, which may have been masking the underlying infection, or what. I am going to see an infectious diseases specialist tomorrow, but it looks like I'm going back on the Bactrim. This time, we're not going to let the side effects run my life, so I'll be back on the steroids and kytril. Will post more when I see the new doctor.
