Bone Pain or infection

A bone infection is extremely serious. If not treated as soon as possible or with the right medications, it can lead to an amputation or the loss of a limb.

Here are a few signs of a serious bone infection:

• Fever, chills, fatigue, or night sweats

• A new ulcer or wound that won’t heal

• Dull pain over the infected body part, often the foot, that doesn’t seem to be getting better

• Redness and swelling
