Osteomyelitis

[Hellbells]

Hi, has anyone suffered with the pain from osteomyelitis?

Where is your osteomyelitis? Mine was in my upper jawbone. Luckily, shortly after i began to take daily oral flucloxacillin the pain statred to reduce, so i managed for 5 months' on daily fluclox with just paracetamol

Hi! It's in my foot and toe, just been on 6 weeks of that high does, had MRI today, waiting results. Did your eventually go?

Yes, mine did slowly clear up thanks to daily oral high dose flucloxacillin for 5 mnths. And if the scans i had during those 5 months had not shown the osteomyelitis was damping down, i know i should've been put onto IV antibiotics instead of oral antibiotics.

I hope your mri results are envouraging.

Take care
