I was hospitalised about 3 weeks ago due to staff in my blood stream, abses on my sacram and a staff infection on the tendon in my left ankle. They sent me hme a week later with a pick line and I seemed to do good the first week but then they changed my antibiotic and my dressing an ever since ive felt like I can tell the infections still in my body if not gettin worse now, I hqve a constant burning pain from elbow under arm pit an the whole chest an shoulder on the side of picc line, feeling week, sore cramped muscles an swelling is back in my ankle. Not to mention the nurse who changed my dressing didnt wear gloves and pulled the pick line out about an inch an a half then pushed back in about a half inch not including after that I lifted my arm up an the muscle pushed the line out an inch so I hurryd and layed my arm down with jamed that inch back in.. I dnt feel right at all I believe but I mite just be paranoid. .. wat should. I do?
Hello, Thanks for your query. Antibiotics are used to treat staph infections. There's another treatment sometimes used with staph infections. If the infection goes so deep that it involves muscles or fibers that enclose muscles, it needs to be surgically cleaned. A staph infection is contagious if the wound is weeping or Chat Doctor.  If the sore becomes unusually painful or red, get prompt medical attention. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
