Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm under going treatment for what my doctor believes is an MSRA infection. I have been a relatively healthy, albeit overweight 31 year old. (5'3 -270). The infection began as an abscess in my armpit that rapidly grew and had to be opened and drained. While they took a culture at that time the results have not come back yet and that was Sunday. Since then redness spread from my armpit down to just past my breast on my left side. After days of daily packing of the wound, receforin shots and 2 oral antibiotics the redness has begun to dissipate leaving behind healing blisters and hard lumps under my skin. The packing has been removed and the doctor feels we are over the biggest hurtles and on the mend. I have however noticed in the past 25 hours that me calf muscles are really sore, my jaw and front teeth ache like I've been clenching my teeth and I often get nauseas an hour or so before it's time to take another dose of pain medicine. I also seem to have indigestion along with the nausea and have not had a bowel movement in 4 days. I'm just not sure if these new symptoms are apart of the spreading infection or a result of the medication I'm on. Advice would be appreciated. I'm taking reprexain 10-200mg tablets every 6 hours for pain along with clindamycin hcl 300mg (2 twice daily) and sulfamethoxazole-tmp ds (bactrim generic 1 tablet twice daily). Thank you for your time and consideration. -jessica
