A member asked:
If i have a mrsa spine infection, will any symptoms besides soreness manifest and will it require surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spine infection: Any infection of the spine -- whether MRSA, non-MRSA staph, or anything else -- usually is severely painful, usually with fever, and most require surgery. Only a little "soreness" is unlikely to be an infection of any kind. But confirm all this with your doctor.
