It depends on where the source of the infection is. If it is the hip for instance, it might first be mistaken for a badly pulled muscle. After the infection has time to increase and spread other signs like fevers, nausea, and unbearable pain will help the doctors diagnoses.

At first staph was supposed to have come from the hospital and you got it by coming into contact with someone that had the infection already. However now you can see staph infection in someone that has not had a stay in the hospital. They come from your skin and typically don't bother you at all. It is bacteria that is normally on your skin and when you get a cut or scratch then it flares up and becomes a problem.
