I heard that the brown recluse bite is not painful. I hope the anti's work for you.

Could have been a black widow bite. I had one on my leg...felt like a wasp sting, very painful, then red stripe began running from site of the bite. Doses of antibiotics fixed it.

I once had involvement in a spider bite case. It was nasty - due in large part to lack of medical attention. Good to see you have already seen the doc. Presumably, all will be well. But, by all means, go see a doctor AGAIN if it doesn't straighten out soon. I hate going to the doc as much as the next guy, but then, to quote someone more famous than me, sure does suck to "stay in thatched huts and die young."

I think possibly so as it was a "painful", hot needle, broken glass thereafter, just stupid high BP and all that kind of gig, but I had a bucket of beer, made some pasta and shrimp, learned a few missing pieces of The Lemon Song, and then relaxed and had a beer. Then I played guitar for two hours and had a cookie and a beer. I thought about karma and being nice to folks. And then had a delicious beer.
It seemed to work well enough and I had fun although my chest hurt plenty. Better to be happy then skeered sometimes perhaps maybe.
Anyway, appreciate the info, humor, and well wishes. Should be fine.
When the wind dies down, the fishing will still be awesome.

workers comp claim sounds. good.. get the antibiotics, and extra dose, keep feet in the sand lines tight and get paid for fishing. so next time tell doc, got a problem looking at crabs running at night, gritty feeling where the sun dont shine, hand and other body parts smell a littly fishing, and hopeless when the wind blows or dont, rain makes you sad except on the drive back home. let see .like the feel a guts and blood on your hands and under your finger nails.. see what they say about that.

hope you feel better, and yes black widows cause streaks around the bite site.

On your walk from work you didn't bump into any Agave type plants?? I got poked on the end spine of one and by the next day couldn't move my knee. There is a poison of some kind on the sharp points that causes a terrible reaction in humans and is toxic to dogs.

there are really only two types of spiders in Texas that are a danger to humans, widows and recluses. There are several species of black widows as well as several brown widow species. There are several recluse species, with the brown recluse being the worst and most notable.

My cousin was biten on the arm by a brown widow and it swole up like a softball before "popping" and healing. Pretty gross.
