Thanks, I am trying - but it was very frustrating to get that news today. Now I found that the dilauded (sp?) prescribed for the pain is not going to be all that effective either. Ahh well, it doesn't hurt as bad if I don't move it at all. It's walking on it that sends me through the roof.
If vancomycin doesn't work, the next likely option is linezolid or daptomycin -- both of those are used to treat vancomycin-resistant infections. Basically, they've put you on something that's not a penicillin derivative. There may be other possibilities. Just because it's usually a last-resort sort of antibiotic doesn't mean it's the only last resort.
I always found that it wasn't that opiates really killed pain anyway -- I just didn't care that it hurt anymore and went to sleep.
