I really hope the new antibiotics are successful. It's very difficult without a diagnosed pathogen to get the right one. I also hope you have no problems with the new antibiotics. How long will you need to be on them this time? Is it another 6 weeks? Also how often will you have your inflammatory markers checked? Its very frustrating when you are not given the news you want. I really do wish you well please let us know how you get on. Lin x

Hi, just a little update went to see my Id doc last week but he wasn't in the office so I had to meet with his colleague and of course my ESR and CRP levels were still elevated, but this doctor said he doesn't like to go by the ESR and CRP. He said it's best to do an aspiration test and see what comes from that so he said he would talk to my ortho surgeon and see what he says. I did find out Monday morning that they will be stopping antibiotic treatments on the 21st of this month. Hope all is going well with you!!
