I was in the e.r. on Monday with horrible left flank pain, the er doc said nothing was wrong. I just received a call from the same er and I have a staphylococcus haemolyticus infection. She couldnt elaborate on this very well and said a prescription would be called in for me. Is this contagious? Im still in pain accompanied with really bad headaches.
Hello Lady Jen, Severe left flank pain is likely always due to UTI (particularly kidney infection or pyelonephritis) and if the ER called to confirm infection with Staphylococcus hemolytic then you need to be provided with an appropriate course of antibiotics. Note
