What Causes A Sore Area Under The Ribcage In A Person Who Had Staph Aureus?
I was in the hospital for 1 week with staph aureus in the bloodline, pneumonia and they also found a heart murmur, and I was diagnosed with ASH and HOCM. I have a thickening of the heart wall in the left ventrical just under the mitral valve. I have been on 6 weeks of home infusion, cefazolin. My CRP has returned to normal but my SED rate is still up...currently 73. Am also now anemic, and current blood work showed a postiive abnormal for ANA test. My concern is the area under my left ribcage is very sore. Could that be an enlarged spleen from the staph infection?

Neither. You may have some pain due to posture problem in the hospital. SED rate may be high due to some chronic disease u may have.
