I had the misfortune to be bitten on the little finger by a redback yesterday, around lunchtime, and by mid-afternoon the pain was so intense I took myself off the the ER at the local hospital (Poisons info told me the pain could last for days, and my finger felt like it was being crushed in a vice!!!). Was given Nurofen, and although I had a restless night, it helped quite a bit.
Now the pain in my finger has subsided quite a bit, but my hand and arm are sweating constantly, and I'm getting sharp pains (maybe 4/10) in my feet...
Has anyone else here had experience with redback bites? How long before these irritating effects go away? This was maybe the most consistently painful thing that's ever happened to me and I don't like it one bit!
