Discitis

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had experience with discitis. I sent a lengthy E-mail to

the suppory group regarding being diagnosed with this disease over the

Christmas holiday.

A have not had any spinal/back surgury performed, ever. Only

difference in my lifestyle is I had my yrl phisical + flu vaccine, and

my wife and I started going to the gym daily (until this happened).

I am currently being treated with 750mg CIPRO HCL, 2x per day for 10

days, this was after spending 5 days in the hospital with I.V.

antibiotics.

Ibuprophen works MUCH better for the pain than does the Tylenol #4 x2

if needed.

Any help out there would help as I am almost in as much pain today as

the day I entered the ER.

I'm sorry but I've never encountered it, either as a patient or as a

nurse. Neither have we seen it with my husband's case. I wish I

could help you more but all I could do would be advise you to

research it, like I do when I have questions about something. Just

be cautious about everything you find in your research, I've found

most web pages are slanted towards the page creator's personal

belief. You have to collect, sift, and then ask more questions about

everything you find. I hope you get your answers soon tho, because

if you DO need more antibiotics, time is important. Good Luck, KYAC,
