Got 2 scorpion stings in my neck, half of my body is stiff.
Basic info: F (15) 5’2 113 pounds
Day after stings: 14
I got stung on the neck, directly behind the ear and located slightly above the collar bone. The sting was by a non-lethal scorpion (the striped bark) so I assumed I was fine.
Symptoms: (out of the norm)
-Day 1: 9:30 pm sting, went to bed after.
- Day 2: neck stiffness
-Days 3-8:
stiffness slowly moves up and down the body (only on the half)
Days 9-11:
Stiffness, slight numbness, slightly heavy limbs.
Days 12-14:
Lethargy, feels like I have to fight to stay conscious occasionally, more recently trouble forming thoughts or speaking.
Today: all building symptoms still present, stings are slightly raised and a light brownish pink color. They resemble spider bites and have been slowly going down from how inflamed they were at the start.
I can preform small workouts, though with a lot of effort. I do PT for an unrelated reason a few times a week. It is quite difficult with these symptoms but I * *am able to complete the tasks.
Overall, I simply want to know if going to the doctor would be necessary. It will likely be a last resort due to family issues.
Thank you! Have a lovely day :D
