just bitten- i’d request

by this spider-I’m on the shore in Connecticut in old Saybrook and was outside eating lunch with my family when I got a searing pain from the bite from the spider. I can’t identify it, I’ve gone to the emergency walk-in in town and they told me to just monitor for symptoms, but can anyone help me identify this? The pain is definitely less than it was when I initially got bitten about an hour ago and the swelling has gone down a bit, but it’s still quite painful and searing the spider itself is a glossy black/brown and very small

Big bite, north Florida around 36 hours ago

Hey all, I got bit by a spider Saturday night, it's now Monday morning and the muscle underneath is quite sore. It's a little itchy but not much, what are the odds it's a bad one?

What should I do???

I was bit by a black widow (on my knee) while out on vacation luckily it was the last night the morning after I noticed some sharp pain that went away after walking. The next two days the pain was so grave I could barely stand up but got through it with some really strong pain killers. And today I felt it pretty painful when I stood up in the morning but was fine after I went to work… now after work I looked at it and it’s pretty big with a huge red area around it the pain comes and goes but it looks like it’s getting bigger plus it opened up and I’ve just had it covered with a bandaid… idk if this is progress since the pain is not as bad or if it’s bad because of the red….

Brown Recluse bite or?

Can anyone tell me what bit me? I freaked when I felt the bite because it was pretty painful and kicked my pants off, but I couldn't find its body, im thinking a brown recluse im currently in a lot of pain.

Edit: I dont know how to add more photos, if you can. but there is now a black dot next to the blister..
