Suggest treatment for recurring MRSA
Patient: I am a 42 year old female, I have been suffering with recurring MRSA for the past 3 and a half years. I am in the hospital every 3 months with out breaks, usually on my legs, but I have had them on my eyebrows, chin, armpit, stomach, and right now I have 4 on my right butt cheek an one large one on my left butt cheek. The left side I have developed severe sciatic pain, and was wondering how I can tell if the mrsa has gone into my sciatic nerve. I am on vancomyacin twice a day since last sunday. My doc has given me Lyric to see if it would stop the nerve pain but it has not. as well I am takiing naprisin sups for inflamation and that is not helping either. I just want to get better and get home, this is my 8th day in the hospital and I don t know when I am getting out. Doctor: As per yur history please check these drugs whether you are given or not -Clindamycin 300-450mg PO three times a day.TMP/SMX 1-2 DS tabs PO twice daily.Doxycycline 100mg PO twice daily.Minocycline 100mg PO twice daily.Linezolid 600mg PO twice daily.if not given tell your doctor to add it.Thanks
