Recurring staph infection

Hello I am wondering why I am constantly being diagnosed with MRSA, 3-4 times a year I have to keep going to the doctor to get anti biotics to treat this and am really getting tired of it, can someone please help me out. Thanks

Same here but they blame mine on mess taking for hip trouble and the narcotics I take. I had carpal tunnel surgery 2 years ago told I had it after that, I'm really scared any advice would be nice thank you tawhite05

You are more than likely colonized with MRSA, i.e, we all have S. aureus on our skin but some people are carriers of methicillin resistant S. aureus.  You may be one of these people.  Best to talk to your doctor about it.
