Hi, I had Carpal tunnel surgery and the orthopedic said I have a bactrial infection. (reaction to my stiches)You can see it, it was a few layers under my skin. He gave me CIPRO 500mg 2 times a day-It seemed to work the 1st time but-He had given me 4 refills. that is unusual to get refills with an antibotic. Well infection came back in the form of CELLULITUS-so I am back on cipro-This is my 7th round of antibiotics in 5 months.I just want to crawl under a rock and let the world go by-This has been so tough on me- I have always taken probotics and always will. I am on many meds for various things.. I am going to an infecious desease specialist because of chronic infections. All BLOOD work ups and cultures came up neagitive- Will I be on antibotics all my life ?
