I've had this swollen spider bite on my leg for about 7 days now, and it is really painful to move my leg at all, sometimes it feels stiff. I really hate going to the ER but should I just wait to go to my Doctor's office Monday?

If it's nonlethal then go to your doctor. ER = major bill. If your insurance covers it go on to the ER.

Spider bites will stay with you a very long time without medical assistance. They will usually get worse over time. I recommend going as soon as you can. If it was deadly poison you would've been very sick within half hour, however don't delay.

I'm not a real Dr. I just play one at home.

Nope, probably happened when I was doing yard work. Cause I woke up with it and initially it didn't hurt. But it's starting to get worse.

The starting to get worse part is alarming! Depending on where you live there are multiple spiders that can cause issues. I take it you are in NC (Greensboro) I added a link for you to check out. Did you notice any tunnels, webs or areas it could have come from?

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
