Hackers can buy scripts that ban people . think before you speak <| sep |> Thanks as well ! <| sep |> Hi , Med student here . Firstly , I ' m really sorry for the illness that is bothering you for such a long timeWhat I can tell you AFAIK , is that Osteomielitis can be caused in the most rare cases , because of a bacteria in your blood that reaches a certain bone and having the bad luck to get colonized and infected . Now , bacteria in our blood is a pretty common thing , our skin always get injured and the bacteria there can access our bloodstream pretty easily . The good thing about our body , is that it has an Inmune system that takes care of those uninvited guests . The problem with bones , when they get infected , is that the infection there just SUCKS , because it ' s extremely hard for the inmune system to attack the bacteria that is there . Most of the time , when we get an infection , the place gets swarmed with our inmune cells that get there thanks to the numerous arteries that are near . This also makes it easy for the antibiotics to get there . Bones , like your jaw , lack of a lot of those arteries bones don ' t need a lot of blood and are full of caverns where the bacteria can hide . This is why you take clindamycin , the infection goes away for a time , and then comes back . I hope I made myself clear , I don ' t speak english as a primary language . I hope you get better man , best wishes . Edit Added info about clindamycin .
