Inner thigh symptoms and conditions

I am on my 4th day of sulfameth/trimethoprim 800 mg @ 2 x's a day along w/ another medicine, I have bronchitis & staph (from an ingrown hair on my inner thigh OUCH!!) This is the second time I've had to take this medicine in the past 2 months & this is the second time I've had a sore throat & swollen vaginal area (labia mostly) i'm use to it swollen at times after "personal time" w/ my husband, but this is ridiculously swollen!
Anybody had that symptom before???? And is that normal???

I was prescribed this medicine for 10 days due to a cyst like skin infection on my inner thigh. On day 5 My right eye on the left side was very bloodshot. Not sure if its related as I had pink eye a couple weeks ago and thought it was gone. I also have gout and take allopurinol which sometimes causes my eyes to get bloodshot for extended periods. On day 9 I had a headache (throbbing behind my eyes), slight fatigue and that night it felt like I might be getting the flu (aches, nose passageway closing a little). Today has been the worst, still not sure if its related to the meds as this has been the season of the swine flu as well. I have positional vertigo which makes me dizzy sometimes, I've been free of dizziness from the vertigo for 3 years and just started again tonight. My teeth have been sensitive to cold all day too and even though it was 98 degrees outside and 77 in the house I was freezing. Feel a little bit of heart flutters as well. I did miss one dose on day 8. I probably didn't drink enough water with the prescription either. Lastly, I've been a bit stressed from work and an upcoming trip so take these "side effects" with a grain of salt. Either that or my body is week from all the other problems I have. Thankfully I haven't been itchy as others describe.

I got Mirena put in on 3/12/09. I had very light spotting for a week or so, then it stopped. Haven't had a period since, and not pregnant. I get cramps once a month, but don't bleed. Once in a while, I will get a sharp pain, like when I was pregnant and my uterus was pushing on the nerve that goes into my leg. That's the sharp pain...down my inner thigh. Told my mother-in-law and she said, "So a swollen uterus, and not period? Sounds fantastic to me!" We all know our uterus swells during our periods, so that was normal. I also have sciatica (sp?) after having him, so that is where the pain might come from. I was told I might have continuous or periodic spotting for up to a year, so I know if it comes back, it's normal. I would recommend this to anyone that has had a child and wants a longer birth control, that doesn't make you retain water and doesn't make you gain weight. It was virtually painless to put in, a little pinch, and I was done! I LOVE IT!

i had the most painful and frightening episode last night. thank god for the internet....the zocor stops today....after only a week or so of low dose....severe leg ,inner thigh muscle cramps and then last night...i must speak frankly,at the end of normal sexual relations, my climax spasm transitioned into a groin and lower stomach cramp that made me roll off the bed in pain and confusion,never have i felt such horrible mind numbing pain....took about ten minutes for spasm to release,still awful sore this morning....it's oatmeal and more swimming for me...just the memory of the pain and helplessness in the midst of it make me nauseous.

I was prescribed Bactrim for a staph infection that turned out to be MRSA. I took the pills (2 pill 2x a day for 10 days). It did clear up the infection; but the side effects sent me back to the doctor. After the second dose, I started having a headache and feeling feverish. After the third dose, my muscles started aching and I began having little muscle spasms and numbness in my right arm and a low grade fever, headache and fatigue. The morning after the 5th dose, I woke up with severe muscles cramps in my legs and feet. I took the 6th dose and what a mistake. The muscle cramps and spasms moved to my inner thigh, legs, feet, abdomen and back. I had to use heat packs to quiet the muscles. I stopped taking the meds and notified the doctor. He changed my prescription to doxy and said that I was allergic to sulfer meds. He also gave me flexorial to help with the muscle spasms. It been 3 days since I stopped taking the meds. I still feel severe fatigue, muscle aches, fever, sweating, and anxiety. I will never take this stuff or anything like it again. I have noted it in my pharmacy charts so they will no ahead in case I don't catch it.

I took Yasmin for the first time on Friday and for the last time on Sunday.

Developed a rash on my inner thigh, became unexplainably moody and depressed and then to top it all off became regally nauseous and blacked out on my bathroom floor - important to mention that I have NEVER passed out before which makes me think it has something to do with it.

I also had leg spasms - i'm not sure if these are the cause of Yasmin, but am going to go and see my doctor and check the side effects..

Has anyone else had similar side effects??

I was prescribed the drug for a bladder infection, and on the second day of medication I woke up feeling like someone had taken a baseball bat and beaten me with it. It was worse in my lower back (I'm assuming it was my kidneys that were actually sore), but my legs were sore too. Later that night after work I thought I'd do some light stretching of my legs thinking maybe it was just from being on my feet for eight hrs. About an hour later I was relaxing on the couch, and started experiencing a shooting pain on the outside of my left calf, 45 min later it dissipated then it happened again on the outside of my thigh, another 45 min go by it dissipates, then it comes back on my inner thigh, 45 min later, dissipates, and settles just below my knee above the calf on the inside of my leg. Soooo, I'm thinking I just stretched too hard or my legs were just that sore, but two days later I find bruises in the exact areas that the pains were.

I have been taking Omeprazole for about 2 months and since the start of taking it I have had stomach cramps that range from slight discomfort to buckling pain that is almost unbearable, my hands and feet swell weekly and it was substantial enough for my wife to notice without question, also I have been experiencing nausea more frequently and more severe the longer I continue to take the medicine, I have occasional joint pain most often at night making it sometimes impossible to sleep, I've struggled with depression before and am not sure if the medicine is causing it or not but my wife says she has noticed a change in my attitude since being on Omeprazole, As far as other side effects I have developed a rash on my inner thigh that seems to coincide with starting the medication, also I have had sharp headaches behind my eyes probably about twice a week lasting anywhere from ten minutes to half the day

I hope someone can help me. I developed a couple of boils in my inner thigh area and my doc did not want to drain them until he tried one last remedy, Sulfamethoxazole. I began taking 2 giant pills a day exactly 12 days ago. The medicine helped the with the boils a lot. They seem to be down to pea size. I suffer from Generalized anxiety disorder and Panic Disorder and I can honestly say that this medication induces anxiety in people. I woke up in the middle of the night about 2 days ago shivering uncontrollably and could not move from the spot I was shivering in. I think I broke a tooth from the chattering of them. I did not think anything of it because I figured it was a nightmare. This morning when I woke up, my body was really sore. My back was killing me and I had a rash on the back of both hands and around/on my feet. I could not get a hold of my dermatologist so I called a couple pharmacies and they told me to stop taking the medicine and take a benadryl. I took the advice and am now wondering if I am allergic to sulfa or maybe this is all a side effect from the pills. I am now terrified about all this because I just read about a disease called Stevens-Johnson syndrome. If anyone has input, please post. Thanks

P.S. I currently take Klonopin and Paxil CR incase needed to know.

Stomach issues and nausea. sharp crystal like pain in my inner thigh and kneecap.

I was on NR in the early 2003... I was on it for like a week, if I recall it was a short time.... They doc placed me on it because of slow hormone release into my blood stream, before that I was on Yasmin, and had no issues, other then being very moody.... With in the first five days I was very sick, I had breathing issues, coughing, nausea, and every bad eye sight..... This was on a saturday, I had went to the doctor that very morning and he told me I just had a cold, need to go home take it easy and take meds... So I went home, was on the couch, taking the meds he gave to me, when all of sudden I couldnt breath, had very very very heavey chest, strong chest pains and I thought I was dying.... My mother was with me, she called the doc, and he said it could had been a reaction to the meds, just dont take anymore, if I am not better go to the ER.... By that night, was not able to breath at all, walking from the tv to the couch was not even possible, I actually thought I was dying... then during all of this, I began to get this deep pain in my inner thigh of my right leg... By Monday, the leg was HUGE, three times the size it should be... I was still not able to breath, I thought I was dying... I went to ER on Monday, they found nothing wrong with me.... Sent me back home.... This kept going on, and getting worse, they knew I couldnt breath but we didnt know why, they checked my heart and it was fine... So I went all week long, with this issue my leg just kept swelling bigger, and breathing was worse... By thursday, I was back to ER.... the Doc on duty, found the issue... I had a DVT, that was in my leg, and it was in my lung at this time.. was not sure if more was going to follow or what, but he said my body is not wanting to adjust to this, and is trying to shut down... I was to stay very still, and tell him everything I had and was taken in meds.... I told him about the cold meds that I had taken, but then he asked me about birth control, I told him, I had the Nuvaring in as we speak... he told me to pull it out, and NEVER use it again... I did.. and I was rushed to a larger Hospital, where the fight for my life began.... By the time I got there I had blood sugar over 380.. My body was not working right, I couldnt breath, I was dying... My body would not take any blood thinners, meds or anything, I smelled like death, they moved me to a private room, due to the smell.... I was vomiting, had major loose stool, and was not able to wear any clothes for a period of about two days... the doc there at the hospital told my family it would be a miracle if she pulls thru this, or even if she does, if she can keep the leg, (it was blocked 98% and was turning purple).... Her life will never be the same, and she has a very very high risk of this again, if not death in the near furture, she will have to be on blood thinners for the rest of her life.... to make a long story very short, I am still alive, of course, and I kept the leg, it swells from time to time, I actually walk on it, wear 3 inch heels and live as normal of a life as I can... July of 03 they were going to take the leg, and I asked the doc if he could just wait, I was determined to keep it... and I did... they said I would never be able to wear heels again, it was at that time my foot was a size 12 and my other foot was an 8.... But I beat the odds... I cannot and would never take Birth Control again, I cannot have children due to the risk of dying, have to live on blood thinners for the rest of my life... This was caused by the Nuvaring.... I had no blood issues, did not smoke nor drink, and I was very active.... PLEASE PLEASE dont use this device! READ everything you can! PLEASE, Blood clots dont care who you are or what you do.... It can happen to anyone! If you have had issues with this device, contact me at******. I would like to hear your story, and would hope you would join me in making women know what the outcome can be.... I am now 36, and I live everyday as tho it could be my last...WE are not promised anything, so the next time you use any form of Birth Control. please, be careful! I have never been married, and was told I cannot have children and of course I didnt have any before all of this happen... This device changed my future, dont let it change the people you love! SPEAK OUT, PLEASE!

I've been taking Januvia for 8 weeks, and have experienced muscle cramps with shock-like pain running down my leg into my heel; upper and lower GI spasms; night sweats with sleep interruption; and I gained 5 pounds in the first 4 weeks which I can't attribute to anything else. I've also taking metformin and glyset for several years, and although I've experienced the night sweats, they've greatly increased in intensity.

knees have swollen pockets and are excruciating as are ankles. Upper arm spasms do not alow me to push pull or raise my arms at all. Hands feel like there are spained and certsin fingers swell. Dr dismisses lovastatin as the cause and increased the dosage, increasing the problems. Sortness of breath and tight chest and jaw have now been added to my misery. Any one else experiencing thhis let me know. I have stopped taking Lovastatin for 2 weeks but symptoms dont seem to be lessing yet

I was prescribed Sulfameth for an abscess on my inner thigh. I have been on it for two days now and the side effects are getting worse with every pill I take. I have felt racey, which has led to the restless sleep; I have had no appetite, no energy, shakes, panic attacks, depression, & mood swings. I definitely do not feel like myself. I feel seperated from the world, or like I'm walking outside of my body. I am running a slight fever every now and again too. There has to be something better out there that can do the same job but with fewer or less severe side effects!!!!

My 22 year old daughter had reconstructive ankle surgery on March 2. Her doctor prescribed 500 mg of Levaquin once daily for 5 days as a preventitive for pneumonia. She has to spend 3 months down with her leg elevated and the chances of pneumonia are great. On March 4th she woke up with a small rash on her right inner thigh. On March 5th, she woke up with a fever and discovered that the rash had spread to both thighs, has completely covered her buttocks and has covered her entire back. I just got off the phone with the doctors office and they have advised taking her off Levaquin. It was obvious to me that it was an adverse reaction to this drug so I had already discontinued giving it to her. She claims none of the other side effects that others appear to be having on this site, but I thought I should add that a very itchy, painful, severe body rash is another side effect to this drug.

After taking sulfmeth-trimeth to cure my UTI, on the 8th day. I woke up with a small patch of red bumps on my inner thigh that looked like mosquito bites!! I did not think much of it..But then later on that day when I went to the bath room. I realized it spread all over my thighs and part of my stomach and legs. Then thats when I really freaked out. I am usually not allergic to any medications. I discontinued the medication. And now till this day am taking Benadyrl.

Beginning in October of 2004, I had a series of three injections of Kenalog in my left hip for back pain. The shots helped my pain tremendously, however, I had the most severe muscle cramping imaginable. I would get only two to three hours of sleep per night due to the cramping of various areas, such as my stomach, inner thigh close to the knee, ankles, toes etc. etc. etc. The cramping did subside within about four months. Recently I had another injection and of course the cramping is back. Thank you for all of these postings, I had no idea of the possible side effects and will NOT be getting another injection.

I just got off yasmin , and now am on alesse. I tried to get off yasmin to x,s before, and actually had extreme headaches and insomnia. I somehow got viral meningitis last summer, just after getting off yasmin,(I had been taking it for a year) . I have no idea if this is relevent or not. I also had bad folliculitis on my inner thigh, and rashes. On yasmin my cellulite would appear much worse. I am only 110 lbs, and 5'5. Now off of it , my cellulite looks better(a lot less) . I am having trouble adjusting to my new pill, I guess because of the hormonal shift. I have insulin resistance , so I am very prone to side effects.

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 was bit by 4 fire ants. Of course I cannot be sure, I was sitting at a picnic table. It could have been a spider, but I'm sure I would have killed it before the second or third bite. One of the bites, evidently was successful with its poison. I was bit on the upper inner thigh. The infection spread on my leg to an area of 7 inches by about 9 inches. There was also a lump forming in my leg. It was at this point when the infected area would turn purple for 20 minutes at a time that I was prescribed levaquin. I am currently at day 11 of 14. I cannot take the itching. There is itching everywhere, my face, my arms, but particularly painful is the orafice for BMs. I put up with the nausea, the sleeping troubles, the acid reflux, the getting dizzy once in a while, the exhaustion in tyring to exercise, my neck and shoulder joint hurting. I just can't handle the anus itching, because you just cannot scratch there. And yet I'm not sure what the trade off is because there is still the lump from the insect poison in my leg. I'd like to finish with this nasty medicine (we'll see if I can suffer the last 3 days) but I will never willingly take levaquin again.

I've been on Levaquin for 10 days for an ear infection. Today will be the 11th day. For the following reasons I'm not sure I should keep taking it. After about 4 days of taking it I started getting a sharp shooting pain going from my right ovary down my inner thigh to the knee. After a week of this it also goes to my lower right back and in my right side it's more like a muscle tightness than a pain.
Now my upper front thigh muscles and around my knees feel achey. Before I read these posts I thought my pain was due to a possible cysts on my ovary being this all started around 6 days before my period. I've never had any cysts or problems like that before or experienced this kind of pain on my period. I've also noticed that after I take the Levaquin the ovary pain gets a bit more intense. Can someone tell me is this the Levaquin or could I possibly have developed an ovarian cyst? Should I get off this medicine? I'm confused about weither it is really a cyst causing all this or the Levaquin. Thanks!
