A member asked:
I have a p.acnes infection in my shoulder joint. i have been on antibiotics for 3 months and crp is still high. is it ok just to live with it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You need to treat it. I assume you have a metallic shoulder replacement. If you fail to control the infection you are at risk for loss of the prosthesis.
