I am a recent breast cancer survivor, and noticed pain and swelling on my elbow; was also running a low grade fever. My nose was also very congested, so I thought I had a cold. My fever was gone within a couple hours, but the arm was still the same. I then thought it was the dreaded lymphoedema, one of my worst fears. About a day later, though, it spread from my elbow to my breast and side area, and was very red, swollen, and tender. Also I had a higher fever by day 3. Was diagnosed with cellulitis, and put on 2 antibiotics (Rifampin and Bactrim). Today is day 13 of the 14 day treatment, and it is still not cleared up; it has subsided somewhat, and almost gone from my arm, but still everywhere else, and sometimes very itchy. Also, still running a fever now and then, especially at night. Headed back to the doctor.
