May 11, 2011

I currently still have the three open boils under my right armpit. They are draining throughout the day and I must wash my armpit 4-5 times a day to cut down on the smell and mess. The one under my left armpit has stopped draining. Pain level on these are a 3. Limitations: Not able to lift my right arm above shoulder level without experiencing searing pain and more drainage. Not able to wear a bra. Must wear loose fitting clothing to prevent further aggravation. Cannot do anything that requires me to sweat as this will also aggravate the boils.

The boil under my right breast has finished draining. Area still feels raw. Pain level on this is a 2. Limitations: Not able to wear a bra. Must wear loose fitting clothing.

The boil on top of right leg is still growing and has not came to a head yet. This is very sensitive to the touch and is causing stabbing, searing pains. Pain level on this is a 6. Limitations: Cannot sit for more than a few minutes without having to stand up and alleviate pressure to the area. Must wear loose fitting clothing so that nothing rubs and aggravates the boil.

I have also developed a new boil on my right labia. This is sensitive to the touch and requires me to be very cautious when wiping after using the restroom. Switched to diaper wipes as they do not aggravate the area as bad. Pain level on this one is a 5. Limitations: Must frequently move when sitting to alleviate pressure. Cannot walk more than a 20-30 feet without the rubbing becoming stabbing pain. Cannot wear undergarments. Must wear loose fitting clothing. Laying down causes the least amount of pain. Sexual activity will cease until boil has healed usually 5-7 days.
