Symptom narrative

Transient cellulitis (flesh swollen, painful, hot to touch, flesh hardened and inflexible) across and surrounding all three injection sites and expanded out an additional 1.5" in all directions (upward and downward from the row of injection sites, and out laterally in both directions from the outside injection sites). Cellulitis developed in the space of a few hours, and remained painful for more than 10 days. Hardened area started moving downward from the row of injection sites (as if pulled downward through the tissues by gravity) after the third day, and gradually decreased in size (area at and under the skin slowly shrinking) until finally regaining normal tissue texture/flexibility, normal tissue color/temperature, and no longer causing discomfort by the 12th or 13th day.
