Staph?

Staph?

I have the same pain in my left breast right by my rib cage. (Like several other members). It was diagnosed as staph. I am being treated with Bactrim and AltaBax-which is expensive.  The pain has subsided some. Is it coincidence? Do I need a mammogram? I am only 34 and have no history of breast cancer in my family. I have, however, had a breast reduction 5 years ago.

Hi,

Have you had any other symptoms other than the pain? This may include lumps, discharge or skin changes. Has the pain not gone completed? Did you ask your doctor why? Your may ask your doctor if he thinks a mammogram is necessary depending on your symptoms. Meanwhile you may take some OTC painkillers or warm compresses.

Hope this helped. Let us know if your questions were answered or if you may have any more questions.

Best regards
