What Causes Abdominal Pain And Fatigue After MRSA Infection?

IN 2008 I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MRSA IN TNE GALLBLADDER. I SPENT A MONTH IN THE HOSPITAL, AS IT INFECTED MY ABDOMEN AS WELL. I HAVE LINGERING PAIN, FATIGUE AND SLEEPLESSNESS. IVE ALSO SUFFERED FROM CONTINUOS INFECTIONS OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. I WAS EXTREMLY HEALTHY PRIOR TO THE MRSA AND THE DRS. HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR THE PAIN. COULD IT BE LONG TERM AFFECT OF MRSA OR ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT? I M MOSTLY BED RIDDEN FROM THE PAIN AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY LIFE BACK.

Thanks for your query at HCM!
I understand your concern.
Has your GB been removed?
I think post surgery you might have developed adhesions which could cause pain.
I don't think MRSA has any role in it now as you have no other systemic symptom.
It is important to carefully follow your doctor's instructions about your diet. Avoid high-fat foods. Take bulking agents, antispasmodic agents and proton pump inhibitors.
You can get a follow up USG done.
You can visit Local doctor/pain and palliative clinic for relief.
Take care!
