2gm iv vanc since 7/14 for ankle mrsa with tendon spread. ortho in 5 days. pain spiked and foot is cold x 2 days/wound looks good.just weird or bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not enough info: There seems to be alot going on here: 1) an open wound with MRSA 2) on vanco 3) pain/cold foot Is there swelling? How is the arterial circulation? Are there pedal pulses, is there good cap return? You may be experiencing neuralgia from swelling causing pressure on nerves,,,,
