excuse me if ive spelt it wrong! anyway my daughter 2and half years old has just been diagnosed with this bone disease in the pelvic area and its heartbreaking when the drugs are given through the veins and i was told this could last anything up to 6 weeks has any other parent had there son or daughter diagnosed with this at such a young age, im very worried!

oh that poor girl. kids are tough, hope she gets through this ok. i have not heard of this, but want to wish you well. never be afraid to ask questions of your doctor, good ones dont mind. god bless

im so sorry to hear that your little girl has caught this. My son contacted this at three weeks old, he was also diagnosed with golden staph. I know this is late but it does take six weeks of iv antibiotics and it is scary. all depending which bones was infected will be the difference in our cases. My son was infected in his right hip, which got filled with fluid and dislocated his hip joint. He was in plaster for 6 weeks and then was put in a brace for 3 months. His hip is slowly getting better and he is nearly two now, its a life long problem but they do get there. If u need to ask any more questions dont hesitate.

dinger73, i know this is a tad late as ive just read the date but im sure your daughter is still very young. id just like to say that when i was 5 years of age i was diagnosed with this horrific disease. i had it in my elbow and i had it bad, there was fear of amputation because the disease spread so rapidly. however, 13 years later and im leading a brilliant life. not only that, im healthy and ive represented my country playing rugby. im sure your daughter will grow up and lead a life you'll be proud of. good luck, god bless
