Hydrocodone 10mg. Also I'm on Lyrica and have two types of muscular relaxers though I've never gotten any relief from them. What happened with the Vancomycin? I had a low trough and infectious disease specialist amped the dose and pow. Kidney injury. Is this a new specialist you're seeing or the one who put in the hardware.? Did they test your nose for bacteria is pre-op They did mine yet I came down with S. aurius. (I currently have an infected sore from that now) I should also say that I have a primary immune deficiency which sets me up to this stuff. But the docs acted like none of this could be related to them or the hospital. I looked up my hospital's # of MRSA cases and there was only 1 the year before. And it's highly ranked by numerous studies. Have you tried to look up that kind of thing from your hospital? Maybe it's defective biofilm resistance on the hardware itself?
