Can A Person Be Still Having Golden Staph In His Body Since One Year As I Was Told There Are Chances Of Losing The Arm?

My brother had golden staph last year in his shoulder, he now is being told he needs a shoulder reconstruction but was told if he has golden staph in his body still he may lose his arm. He is 78 years old. very fit but has limited movement in his shoulder. His doctor has told him they can do tests to check if it is in his body still. He has been doing physio for the last year and is slowly getting more movement. Can he still have golden staph in his body? l am worried about it and he s not sure what to do.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Golden staph is the doctors responsibility, he will look after it, it can be there in the throat, or some where else.
I advise you to confirm the exit of the staph, and then have the surgery.
Avoid taking potato, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and Protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
