I have a STAPH infection. (Possibly MRSA) - lunagron - 06-20-2010
Yeah, so I went to the hospital today and apparently I had an infection on my leg. So they had to cut it open and drain out some pus and what-not.
When the doctor came back he said it might be a STAPH infection. Even worse he said it might be MRSA (strain resistant to antibiotics). So yeah, that's how my day went.
I think I got it from some bug biting me while I was sleeping. The disadvantages are:
- Can't Shower
- Can't go to gym class
- Can't swim
- Have to take pills that make my stomach feel like crap
- etc.

Ahh man I am sorry to hear this! It sucks for you. Do you know how you got the infection? All I can say is just be brave and know that the doctors can help you and I bet you'll get it sorted
Anything else, just message me.

I don't think you can get MRSA from being bit by a bug, as usually comes from Humans (Poor hygiene, ie not watching your hands after going to the toilet and then eating food).
Either way, I wish you much luck, and I Hope it is not MRSA.

Hello;
I recall having this several years ago - it did indeed cause quite a bit of pain from what I remember. I had to continually consume this antibiotic that removed the liquid from the wound; eventually I got better.
Best of luck to you.
