Pain pain symptoms and conditions

I was prescribed Simvastatin 40mg four weeks ago and had horrendous side effects almost immediately eg deep depression, diarrhea, bad stomach aches and night cramps in my legs. Last week my doctor prescribed Lipitor 10mg and I feel no better in fact probably worse. The worst side effect for me is the stomach aches and constant diarrhea and complete lack of appetite. There can be absolutely nothing in my stomach any more. Does anyone else have these symptoms? After reading peoples experiences on here I feel I should stop taking this medication immediately!

I had 2 c-sections back to back and I had so much complications with the patch in the past that I figured the natural choice was the IUD. I talked to my OB/GYN and he suggested the MIrena. I did a little research and talked to a few women who had it and htey seemed to like it, so I figured what the heck, might as well...

BIG MISTAKE!!! I had a lot of pain when the IUD was put in, but right away I started gaining weight. I gained 30 lbs and even with running 2 miles 4 times a day and doing other activities, I lost nothing. Additionally I started having my cycle for 2 weeks straight and had constant breast sensitivity and pain, back pain, pain in my lower abs, weakness in my joints, mood swings, NO SEX DRIVE WHAT-SO-EVER, gassy, bloated all the time, etc... Basically, you name the symptoms, I had them.

I finally had the Mirena removed on Thursday 19 Mar, 08 and I am so happy I did. I am seeing changes already, my body is in serious withdrawal though. I am tired and listless, sleepy and moody, but I am hoping these symptoms will soon past.

My advice to anyone wanting to get this IUD put in, think twice!

Can someone tell me how long it took for the symptoms to go away?

Well.....I've had two good bone density tests (the proper test)...the last i had was in 2002, and showed an actual increase of density of 7.5% in one hip, and 4% somewhere else....I was THEN put on Fosamax by my dr. because I am "white, thin, hysterectomy and smoke...." and said he wanted to keep my bones healthy. Hence, I've been on this since. I'm now wondering.....I had alopecia (hair loss) 2 years ago, just patchy, it's back in fine, no recurrence. I'm seeing a chiropractor now, as I feel constantly "pretzeled" My head feels like it weighs 100lbs on a wobbly neck, my fingers are often sore, one of my knees is dodgy, ....we have no athritis, osteoporosis in my family, I cannot remember a female breaking a bone! I just don't feel great all vague feelings. I exercise every evening 20mins on a glider, I'm 105lbs, I eat a sensible diet, I do everything at 100mph, so not sedentary! I go for my Bone density the end of this month, and I have a feeling this is the end of my Fosamax!

L SIDE CHEST WALL PAIN -. PAIN OCCURS WHEN CHANGING POSITIONS IN BED,BENDING,LIFTING. PAIN FEELS LIKE MUSCLE RIB PAIN. PAIN BEGAN 1 WEEK AFTER STARTING ON 5 MG OF LISIOPRIL.

After 3 months on Nuvaring, nearing the 3rd week, I experienced crippling lower back pain, like I've never had in my life. Muscle spasms to the point were I couldn't stand or walk. I had not injured my back or strained it. I couldn't understand it. Went to Dr. Was given muscle relaxant. Made no connection at the time. The meds. helped loosen the tightness and pain. Pain was gone 4-5 days later. Low and behold, 28 days later, it started all over again! Intense lower back pain. It was so debilatating, I took the ring out a week early, suspecting that it was the culprit. By the next day my pain had subsided and by the third day it was all but gone. I've also heard from another woman who experienced the same symptoms. I'm going to call the manufacturer and my Dr. and tell them. I urge others to do the same. Obviously, not everyone has this side affect, but I want to know what permanent damage, if any, it's had on my body!!!

I take vicodin with soma. If I stay up and wait for relief of pain, pain begins to subside and I pick up dirty glasses left out and head for the kitchen. I begin cleaning my kitchen--dishwasher emptied then filled, counter scrubbed, cupboards wiped down, fridge wiped, floor swept and mopped...it's as if I'd taken amphetamines...off to bed I go and can't sleep til around 3am. My pains gone and I get a clean kitchen out of the deal...waking up for work is another story, though. Don't take too many vicodin with somas or visa-versa....unless your kitchen needs a good cleaning!

After two weeks off finishing Yasmin, I had all symtons of a heart attack, very fightening. Had ECG, stress tests, blood tests and all normal. Had several severe anxiety attacks since and on going heart pain, pain in left arm, generally feeling awful. I am so glad I found this site, I live in France. I don't know anyone else here to talk to about this, its now six weeks for me not taking this terrible Pill. I really hope my health returns to normal soon.

Got a cortisone injection in the neck. Few several minutes later had very excruitiating pain. Pain subsided to low pain few hours later. Had achy back and legs. Nauseaus. Restless sleep on and off. Next day dull achiness in the neck. Had to move slowly.

i don't knoe if welchol is my problem but i have been on this for two years and i have back pain pain in my joints and now have developed pain left side of my neck. could welchol be the problem?

I do nor know if this has happened before, but just in case I want to share my body reaction to Allegra.
I do have Diversified Chronic Colitis.
Last Saturday I had a really bad allergic attack, and, I took 0NE ALLEGRA. BIG,BIG MISTAKE!
12 hours after taking it my intestines started to scream, Sunday I have 6 bowel movements and pain, pain is rare in my case, after 2 big surgeries on them I really do not have pain. Monday I lost count of my bowels movements.
Monday, after a very light breakfast, I almost soiled myself and this still going on. I have lost 6 pounds.
I went to the Dr. yesterday and she told me "please do not take allegra anymore, in your case I think it has cost a very bad inflamation in your whole digstive system."
It should be called "KILLEGRA" INSTTEAD OF ALLEGRAi HAVE . pOSTED 10/07/05

I was recently prescribed Levaquin for a skin infection. I took a 500 mg. tablet each day for three days. After the third pill, I developed excrutiating head pain, pain in my lower back and hips, and pain in the chest area. I was off from work for two days. I stopped the medication and after five days, I'm still experiencing the effects of Levaquin. I will never, ever take this medication again.

I am taking doxy for PIV for a month. I am on my last week of pills and have experienced abdominal pain, pain and burning while urinated and vaginal discharge. Was wondering if this was normal. also cramping in my lower abdomen and in my legs.

I took Fosamax 70 mg once a week for 2 months. I quit taking it 2 weeks ago due to severe elbow pain, pain in shoulders and neck and right big toe is numb with electric pain. The first 2 days after taking dose I had headache and flu like symptoms. My doctor was not much help and wants me to stay on it if I can stand the side effects. I can only hope this goes away. Does anyone know how long it takes for the pain to diminish after stopping this terrible drug?

After five days my hot flushes returned, ringing ears, strange morbid mood, but the big clincher was the MONSTER headaches like a 'high blood pressure head ache', would stretch in bed when moving especially around 4-5am and wham the headache would pound/bound. Headache would calm down if I got up and had coffee. After 4 days I started to get worried and stopped Singulair after 5th 10mg dose, and now two days later headache, jaw pain, pain in upper shoulder muscles and at C-7 spinal vertabrae are all gone and I'm not so over whelmed or dizzy.
What was good? I did not have to use my inhaler for those days, but this certainly is not a 'magic bullet' if you suffer with symptoms that are so dramatic and scary!
Do they prescribe too high a dose?, should it be every other day or once a week? Are they really certain about interaction with other medications and vitamins etc?
I do not think I will try it again, I felt like my headache was on the verge of a CVA!
From a Canadian who was given a prescription i now cannot use.......

I too am glad to find this posting. I started taking yasmin to control heavy menstrual cycles. Everything went well until I got to the inert pills in the first pack. I took the pills at night just before going to bed. About two hours after taking the third inert pill I woke up thinking I was having a heart attack!
I called my Ob/Gyn, He referred me to the emergency room.
I have gone through three weeks of thinking I was falling apart. Panic attacks, shortness of breath, acid reflux, heart racing, spacey(can't remember things, feeling really strange)
headaches. nausea, flu like weakness and pain, pain in the neck, chest and left arm. I have been off the pill for three weeks and the symptoms are subsiding but I'm still having problems. My OB still thinks it's all in my head. Sorry, after reading about all the others experiencing the same things, I'm convinced it's the Yasmin.

I had no idea an antibiotic could cause such side effects until I visited this site. I have taken Levaquin twice in the past 2 months for chronic sinusitis. First time for 10 days (250 mg) and then couple of weeks later for 21 days (500 mg). I don't think it is gone yet. I complained to my husband of extreme joint pain, pain in my ankles and extreme fatigue. He said I bet it is that antibiotic you are taking and I just kind of brushed him off. However, when I mentioned it to a friend who has had many sinus problems she said I better check it out on the Internet. Sure enough I see others who have had similar problems. I work nights so I do have different sleep patterns but have never been one to require a lot of sleep but lately I can't seem to get enough sleep. I have not taken it for about 5 to8 days and wonder when my symptoms will start to go away.

I, too, am allergic to penicillin and sulfa so have tried many different antibiotics but never had a reaction like this. It is horrible to have this much pain. I will definitely be telling my doctor about my reaction to this antibiotic. I, too, was never given any warning about the possible reactions to this but was told not to take it with other products like calcium. My patient advisory leaflet did mention to advise my doctor if I had tendon, joint or muscle pain but I didn't make the connection of this type pain. Guess I should have been smarter.

Facial pain. Pain behind the eyes and neck stiffness.

extreme jaw/teeth pain, pain moving eyes from side to side and turning head.
