What Causes A Throbbing Ache After A Stingray Encounter?
Got stung by a stingray 2 months ago, 9 days later developed an infection which required a course of oral antibiotics, which healed the wound. Now, for the last 2 week, been experiencing a dull throbbing ache at the site of the puncture, in my lateral ankle. Very slight swelling, no redness or warmth. What could this be?
