Question about TRK and infections

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm needing double knee replacement. A year ago, I had an infection in my

leg that turned out to be staph infection, now my Dr. is scared to do the

surgery. He has told me about the risks involved. But honestly, doesnt everyone

carry the staph seed in their body. What if you had it in school when you were a

kid. He says it never dies.. I'd appreciate any comments or advise. Thank you.

My husband is more prone to staff infections because he is on an autoimmune

drug that lowers his resistance. We all have staff on our bodies from what

we were told. You can keep it at bay with special prescription soaps used in

the shower. My husband recently had a bad staff infection, was put on

antibiotics, and yet they performed surgery anyways making sure he used

this soap.
