Post Osteomyolitis, cronic in spine

I contracted this nasty infection in 6-02 and diagnosed in 9-02I was on antibiotics for 9 months, Twice with IV via pic line with rocephin and then cleocin/ lots of oral antibiotics clindamycin, flagyl ansd a few I can't remember, I'm really fed up with my infectious disease doc, He is dragging his feet sending me tro a lot of different docs and as time goes on my infection gets stronger,I had surgery to remove infected disc L-3-4, but fusion did not take due to infection still present What am I to do !!!!! I am sso ffustrated. Going to neuroligist tommorow and probably another EMG God I hate that test!!!!!Life is getting so hard I just want to quit Any suggestions for me folks?

osteo of spine

[/SIZE] Rick; I contacted the damn thing in my left thigh when i was nine years old, served in the Army Rangers for 9 years , just retired after 34 years in the retail food industry, i am 64 years old and all those years i`v been doing battle with this demon in my leg. Four surgeries with another on the horizon, with pernicious anemia as a result of all that bone marrow loss over the years. Words of encouragement, family ,and a firm belief in 21st century medicine is what has kept me getting up each morning. I swallow two 500 mg. of dicloxacillin twice a day with a 40 mg. of folic acid (anemia),followed by a top of the line vitamin. Advil when i need it, celebrex and vioxx didn`t work for me. I`m always in pursuit of the "magic bullet" that will slay this beast, but my creed is now and always will be "never quit. The Hypobaric chamber is a new weapon you should look at and search outside the proverbial box for the next treatment regimen. John
