Hello.

I would love to hear some MRSA deep tissue infection/surgery related success stories, if anyone cares to share. I am going through this hell right now. Post knee surgery related. I need some positivity!
Thanks !

I’m dealing with a similar issue. I had a total knee on 10/12/23. On 10/30/23 I was back in surgery for MRSA eradication in the wound as well as cleaning my blood stream. Now I’m doing all of the necessary things to, hopefully, get rid of it.
Does anyone ever completely kick MRSA?

Hang in there. Just make sure you get a really good ID doctor. What antibiotic protocol are you on?

6 weeks of IV, Daptomycin thru pic line, as well as Rifampin 2 x daily, then 4 weeks of Doxycycline. When that’s over then I’ll be taking “something “ for two years or longer.
With all of these meds I don’t really need breakfast or dinner!
