Dull pain symptoms and conditions

every time I take this medication I have sharp and sometimes dull pain in my kidneys for several hours after taking it.

Wow. For the past couple of days I have experience a dull pain in my knees and ankles; I assumed it was the onset of arthritis. Also I have experienced cramps recently that are reminiscent of the horrible cramps I had as a teenager. Finally this morning I noticed my period which has pretty much been light spotting since the insertion of Mirena. I decided to google mirena on a whim and am really glad I stumbled upon this thread. I decided to go along with my doctor's suggestion for this IUC 6 weeks after my son was born, October of 06. I have had absolutely no desire for sex since then and my husband has had various issues with that. I never considered mirena could be the culprit for my strange symptoms. I also have experienced difficulty losing weight; before pregnancy I had a speedy metabolism, ate heartily and had no problems maintaining a healthy weight. I was prescribed zoloft about 3 months after getting mirena. I too have noticed that my hair is still falling out, my skin is splotchy and the skin on my upper lip has darkened slightly, it looks like I have a mustache. I've been convincing myself that the way I feel is just due to getting older and that my body is always going to be out of whack after childbirth. I was just trying to get used to it. After identifying with so many posts, I want that junk removed next week.

Insertion was kind of painful... is there any discomfort during or after removal?

I was recently prescribed Cipro for a UTI. I've been on it for 6 days now. The first night was crazy. I felt excitable and when I finally did fall asleep I had the most intricate, amazing dream, almost lucid. The next day I felt a boost of energy and was running circles around my husband while doing yard work. The third day was when the pain hit, soreness in my elbows, knees, feet and hands. I attributed it to my previous day of insane energy. Right now I'm feeling quite bloated and I have this dull pain that feels like it's in the marrow of my bones. I have a tingly sensation in my muscles and my mind is a foggy, yet racing haze. Two more days of this and I'm hoping for the best. I didn't even know I had a UTI. I just know I was feeling very lethargic and had horrible pains in my left side and bad back aches, which now leads me to believe I had a kidney infection. Hate to say it, but I think I am experiencing the lesser of two evils. What's worse, raging, possibly life-threatening bacteria, or anti-biotic over kill with severely inconvenient side-effects?

I am experiencing a dull pain in my right leg. My leg also feels heavy and numb. Also I have right side abdominal pain that spreads to my lower back. I am on 100mg twice daily and I have only been on it for six days. I've called my doctor to see if I can spread out the dosage to once daily as I have five pills left. My prescription is only for a week.

my daughter is 16 takes Yasmin for severe periods and cramps, stomach pain, moodiness during her periods. She has just started complaining about headache that hurt really bad, not like migraine headaches, she already had a history of those and said that they feel different. I'm worried, has anyone experienced this?

I have been taking this for 3 days and I am a little worried. My legs feel kind of tingly and sore (started about an hour after i took the 1st pill). I am not swollen or anything...this is pretty much my only side effect, but I can't get a hold of my obgyn to ask her about it, since I have to wait 2 months to get an appointment with her...I dunno. The leg cramps can't be a blood clot this soon? This site is really worrying me now.

It is not a shooting pain like they say in the pamphlet Warning Signs, just kind of a dull pain. I had a lot of leg cramps as a child and this feels just like it, but more mild.

I was recently diagnosed with Hoshimotos Thyroiditis. It's only been three days since I have been on the Levoxyl (100 mcg), but I am feeling slight chest pain and tingling in my face. My heart isn't racing though; it's just a dull pain! I am nervous that it will continue to increase and that other symptoms will come about. Just reading about people's experienced on this site has made me nervous too! Has anyone ever experienced this and if so, did other symptoms follow?

Thanks for your feedback!!!

I have been taking flomax for a couple of years now. The benefit has been urinating a few times less a day. I don't sleep well. Lately, I have been have mild, not real painful, like a dull pain headaches. I do get dizzy upon standing more frequently lately, I do not recall the dizziness until just recently. But my big side effect is loss of erection during sex and/or voluntary erection. I never had this problem before. I workout five days a week, three cardio days and two days in the weight room. I also take lisinopril for blood pressure and lovastatin for chloresterol. Great to hear other men are experiencing these same side effects.

Let me just say, if you are thinking of starting Toprol then you need to consider this. It works great at lowering your heart rate, but it also with make you gain weight, have anxiety attacks, severe shortness of breath, insomnia, and a low libido. Your doctor's are not going to tell you this and will blame all the side effects on other things. At least that was my experience and what seems to be many other experiences according to this site. I was put on Toprol due to an elevated heart rate (186 beats per minute) that was caused by being severly anemic. Now other than being anemic, I was a completely healthy and fit 29 year-old female without any other heart problems. After being on 100 mg of Toprol for 4 days I would periodically feel a dull pain in my chest and would get extremely pale. On the 6th day, the pain was so bad I went to the emergency room, they told me that it was just an anxiety attack. Up until this point in my life, I had never experienced any sort of anxiety or depression and could not think of anything that would cause it (no stress in life, great marriage, etc.) After the visit to the ER, I decided to reduce my Toprol down to 50 mg a day to see if that helped my problem any. After reducing my meds, I felt 85% better. No chest pains. Well, I'm not one to take medication for long periods of time (I think in the long run they can sometimes cause more harm than help) and since I was only to take the Toprol until my anemia was under control, I decided recently to start to wean myself off (without doctor's consent.) I am currently down to 25 mg a day, which hasn't been easy. I've tried to move down to 12.5 a day, but have trouble sleeping and feel very anxious. I've been on Toprol for 2 months and I have gained 10 pounds (eat like I always have...fruits, veggies, whole wheat and lean meat) and have a low sex drive (never a problem before). I'm too young for this crap.

I have been on Atenolol (only 12 mg a day) half a pill, for 4 months now. I have had dizziness most of the time, ice cold hands and feet, numb feeling in my legs, severe pain in my chest, which turned out to be costachondritis. Very slow heart rate 50 bpm. Low blood pressure 98/54. Dull pain in both my sides and back. I did not have any of these symptoms until I started Atenolol I hate the way I feel. However, when I try to stop it, my heart starts racing. I have been taking it only for my racing heart (as the Dr. says I have atrial fibrillation.) I wish there was a better med without these bad side effects.

I quit Yasmin two weeks ago before using it for 6months.
I used to be struck with a very funny sensation especially while I was driving. It was close to dizziness. Although my vision felt fine, but it felt like that I could not hear a thing suddenly, which feels similar to being in under water or being in sound-prrof room alone. It was a totally disoriented feeling that shouldn't happen while someone is driving. I got really scared because of that. I belive that it lasted only several seconds since I noticed my car drove less than 10 meters in 20 km school zone.
Apart from that, I didn't have any side effect before quitting. Now, I have a huge symtoms; the dull pain in low abdomen, a headache, water retention(gain 10lb for 2weeks).
I am especially concerned about the pain in low abdomen. I will eventually go see my GP, but I wanted to check on this site for more info.

Dull pain in right side started about the same time as starting Toprol XL (25mg) about 2 years ago. Also started being treated for GERD around that time. For the past year, dosage of Toprol XL was increased to 50mg. The GERD is getting worse and dull pain in right side is still there and radiating towards the front and back. Docs have ruled out any problems with kidney, gall bladder, UTIs. All blood work normal.

Hello, everyone. I am new to Yasmin and have only been taking it for 2 weeks. I am coming off of a 4 year break from BCP's and decided to try Yasmin on my OB's recommendation due to excessive moodiness/irritability with other BCP's that I've tried. In the past, I didn't have any other side effects from any of the other pills that I've tried (such as spotting, break through bleeding, bloating, etc.) In the 2 short weeks that I've been taking Yasmin I have had enough weird side effects to prompt me to go online and do some research, which led me to this site. I have had (sorry for the TMI) brown discharge for 12 straight days and today I have blood spotting. I also noticed that I have been extremely fatigued for the last week. Tonight I feel a dull pain in my left side and am bloated and feel "full", as if I've eaten a huge amount of food. I'm not even going to finish this pack. Thank you to everyone for your experiences.

I am a 31 year old male. I was told by the doctor that I had prostatitis. I sit at my job all day and he thinks this could have been the cause. I was prescribed 750 mg for 2 weeks. The problem seemed to only get worse and I was referred to a urologist. The NP put me on another 2 weeks of Levaquin. I told him that I was having soreness in my shoulders (joints) and pain in my butt and upper back of my thighs. I have taken the prescription now for almost a full 4 weeks. I now have all the pain described above and also joint pain in my ankles, tendons of my feet, hands, and the joints in my fingers, as well as my knees. I have had a stiff neck from time to time and piercing and dull pain that I thought was deferred pain. I typed in "aching due to levaquin" and found this site and many others with people who have the EXACT same symtoms as myself. I then looked up "alternatives to levaquin", and I found these drugs and keyed in "side effects and aching due to...Bactrim, etc..." None of these drugs had the severity of symptoms as leviquin. I called my doctor and told him I refuse to take anymore of this drug. He is putting me on Bactrim. I also have been taking 800mg of Motrin 3 times a day. It does little for the pain. I have been taking Ultracet which helps some. I cannot take narcotics due to addictive personality and my recovering from alcoholism. It is a scary thing when you can hardly get out of bed, can hardly walk, can't lay on your back due to leg aching, can't lay on your sides due to joint problems in your shoulders, and can't get a good night's sleep. The part that makes me even more upset is that I paid a pretty penny to feel this way. I am now worried about the side effects not going away. I have never felt this way in my life, and if I had to live for the rest of my life feeling the way I have been for the last 3 weeks since the levaquin kicked in, I would rather be dead. That should be enough to make you think twice before taking this drug. If anyone has any advise on how to clear up the adverse symptoms from this drug, I would be more than appreciative.

I stopped taking the pill today and thank god!!! I am 26 years old and have had the worst highs and lows I have ever experienced in the last 5 months of taking it, my blood pressure shot up to 90/150 which is way above average. My breast are sore at different times, in the beginning they hurt continously. Has anyone experienced while taking this pill, pulsating dull pain in what feels to be the veins, ex legs and arms? This has concerned me the most and I am going to see the doctor this week. My skin is clear but hell this is not worth it!!

I was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection. I finished my last pill (10 days worth) Sunday (3 days ago). On Friday (5 days ago), I woke up with discomfort - dull pain in my stomach (solar plexus area) which has continued. On Sunday, I took Maalox and got diarreah. Since Sunday, I have experienced alot of gurgline, as well as, dull pain in stomach, upper and lower intestines. It seems to improve temporarily when I eat something. This morning (Wednesday) I had painful gas. I just called my gastro doctor and he can't see me for 2 weeks. Help!

I went to the emergency room for a dull pain in my lower back left side and was given an IV, a blood test, and a CT scan. After no signs of kidney stones were found the ER doctor sent me home and prescribed LEVAQUIN, IBUPROFEN, and METRONIDAZOLE antibiotics thinking that I might have gotten diverticulitis.
After 1 week of taking LEVAQUIN the side effects were right on! I could not sleep for more than 3 hours, I have anxiety attacks and my skin became dry no matter what lotion I put on it. I also had the runs and blackened stool ( and I thought I had a serious case of internal bleeding ). I have prolonged dizziness and nausea that even when lying down I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I have a lower center backpain that makes me feel strained ( like dead weight on my shoulders )and although my backpains have dulled a little bit but now, I'm still feeling muscle cramps in my lower and upper back, and have muscle spasms on my left inner thigh.
I always feel like I'm going to have a headache but I become lightheaded like I can't think straight and I am very anxious.
I have not have had any serious diseases and my checkups are always clean.
By reading these articles I have found relief knowing it could not be a serious problem I have, but could be major side effects caused by this drug.
I don't know what this drug cures but one thing i know is that it is very potent and dangerous for people with other health disorders relating to asthma, anxiety, insomnia, and others.

I cannot recommend this drug at all from what I see posted here today. And knowing the side effects are so extreme I begin to wonder why it is being recommended by physicians.

Should'nt they know any better?!
This experience has really awaken me to the new culture of drugs we have in the market today. Before I take another drug, I will find out more about the side effects.

I am a 47 year old male who had a heart attack in march of 1993. I have had angioplasty three times with stent implants during the last two procedure's. My primary care physician thought it would be to my benefit to take Zocor. I have been taking 20mg a day for the past 4 years. During the past few months I have been having pain in my right elbow and lack of strength in my arm. I also have been having a steady dull pain in my right leg which runs from my thigh down through my knee and calf. I have had liver function tests done once a year because of an earlier bout with hepatitis and alcohol abuse, but the tests show that my liver is working fine. Does this sound like it could be a side effect of the Zocr?
