I've asked my dr if I should of been taking antibiotics incase it is infection he said that wouldn't take care if problem they would have to take hio out put in antibiotics straps until infection is gone then put in new hip at this point if that's what needs to be done do it but they don't want to say it's infection to do that

But remember, if the colonized bacteria is on the apparatus itself, it doesn’t have a blood supply - so antibiotics carried by the blood stream won’t work.
