A member asked:
What are signs that i have a bone infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: The most common sign of bone infection (otherwise known as osteomyelitis) is localized pain. If the infection spreads and enters the bloodstream, you can get the usual septic picture with fever, high heart rate, and possibly low blood pressure.
