Suggest Remedy For Tenderness And Soreness In Forearm Due To Alligator Bite
I was bit by an alligator on thursday while it was not full force &. I have only 3 minor punctures which are not infected & their no signs of bruising or broken bones. My fore are is still sore & tender but no swelling. Is it just the truma of compression due to bite force?

Hi,
I am sorry for the accident you went through.
Feeling your forearm still sore and tender is due to compression of bite force. I am happy there is no swelling, meaning that no infection is present.
It will take a few more days for the soreness and tenderness to get reversed.
You can take oral pain-killers to ease the soreness.
Wish fast recovery!
