Pain symptoms symptoms and conditions

I am writing in regard t my father in law . He says this is a cancer drug to help pain is this true? He is higher then a kite is right to thanks

I took prednisone for 6 days ( the pack). Six the first day and five the next till day six I had one pill left. I have never experienced hair loss like this. I have a patch of hair that fell out in a circle the size of a 50 cent piece. I didn't notice it really falling out but noticed a bald spot and I freak out. I came on line to get info about this medication. This drug was ordered for me because I have severe pain in my back due to osteoarthritis, sciatica and back surgery. I was told taking this would help with the inflammation and might relieve some of the pain symptoms. Well, I think the pain would be better then the side effects that I suffer. I had loss of appetite and acne on my face. I feel dizzy and bloated. I pee all the time and seems like i visit the bathroom much more often for other reasons too. I have felt like a crazy lady and have less patience than normal. I hope that this does not last for ever. This is a small amount of the medication. I am sorry for those of you that have experienced a long period of time on this medication. I pray for you that they will find another alternative with less effects to your bodys.

I was prescribed keflex for a kidney infection. I experienced DEPRESSION symptoms and felt BLOATED. The drug at times increased PAIN symptoms in stomach and lower back area. I also had very little energy. Given my irrational behaviour on keflex, & the significant mood improvement when I finished the course, I have decided that I will NEVER take keflex again and that pharmacists and doctors need to discuss the drug with patients / clients.

Used to take Lipitor but my immune system went down and I blamed the statins.
Dr. at Lipids clinic changed medication from statins to ezetimibe and since using that I wake in the morning with stiff hands and arms up to the elbow. Difficulty making a fist, also have extreme lower back pain, difficult to walk or bend first thing in the morning. Also noticed bad calf muscle pain. Symptoms usually resolve after I have been up and about for about an hour. Not sure if it's the new drug but I am stopping it to see if these symptoms go away.

My doctor took me off Lipitor a month ago after I described my pain symptoms and extreme fatigue to him. It seems that he had some severe pain after he started taking it, so he was very "in tune" to what I was saying. I am feeling somewhat better, but I'm still having some muscle weakness in left arm and joint pain and stiffness continues in my right thumb. I have some milder pain here and there but it isn't debilitating like it was when I was taking Lipitor. I also have not had any fatigue. I feel like I am getting better, but I am concerned about my cholesterol levels going up. I go back to him in 6 weeks for a check up so we will see what they are then. Meanwhile, he has referred me to a rheumatologist. My arthritis panel came back normal but he feels like I should see the specialist to make sure I am ok... I agree with everyone else - don't start taking Lipitor but if you do - watch for symptoms and then get off of it immediately!

I had an extreme reaction to Rosets. It felt as if someone had putting acid or a burning pepper spray into my eyes. The pain lasted all evening and continues to be uncomfortable (although better) the next day. Both eyes were affected and there was extreme redness. My eyelids were also puffy and the burning sensation was also in my nose. The redness was also there the next day, although less so. My doctor suggested flooding my eyes with sterile eye lubricants and taking pain medicine. I did this and while it eased the pain symptoms some, discomfort was very high.

"Levaquin was not the cause of my pain symptoms. "
I saw my doctor (a rare good doc) who after a full exam said Levaquin was not the cause of my pain symptoms.

I stongly suggest that your physician take another look at the PDR for levaquin. Such pain as you are describing is also an adverse drug reaction to this drug. I am not saying the levaquin is to blame but the odds are very good that it is. Very few, if any phsicians even have a clue as to the damage that fluoroquinolones can and will do to a subset of those prescribed and dismiss such concerns out of hand stating "it cannot be the drug" when in fact it is. Within this class of antibiotic more than 50% have been removed from clinical use due to toxicity issues. Spontaneous tendon rupture has been reported since 1982, and more recently pheripheal nueropathy as well.
