Tens unit symptoms and conditions

I have been on Lisinopril 2.5mg for HBP for a few months now. Not thinking it had anything to do with anything, I started to develop severe muscle and joint pain in my hips all the way down to my feet. I was starting to think I had arthritis or RLS. The pain is really bad and I have taken ibuprofen and used muscle rubs without success. I went on vacation for a week and accidentally forgot to pack the med. Well I had no problems until when I came back and started back on it. The pain has gotten so severe that I called my MD. She recommended I stop taking it and see her in a week. I even ordered a tens unit and started taking potassium supplements. I see on some posts not to take the potassium so I will set that aside for now. As for the coughing, I am a smoker and cough and hack my brains out anyway. So I can't really say its making me cough. This pain though has kept me up at night and I toss and turn because of the pain. I hope now that I stopped taking the med these pains will subside soon.

I've been on Prednisone after and allergic reaction to penicillin (Amoxicillin) (bullous pemphigold - large blister on my arms and legs, some on the back and very little on the stomach) I've been on the medication for three days (40mg/day) I cannot standup or move my hands, my entire leg hurts and the foot is swollen (it could be from the penicillin). I'm hoping it will go away after I come off prednisone but has anyone experienced long term pain from this drug?

I'm pretty sure my pain is from the allergic reaction. Has anyone had long term pain from any type of bullous reaction?

I am 63 years old and have been on Lipitor 3 years. Since I have arthritis in my right knee, I dismissed symptoms starting last summer in my thumb which by October involved my left knee, increased problems in my right knee, and left hip and back. This finally became so stiff and painful I could hardly walk across the room. I have to stand for a few minutes when I first get up before walking and am so stiff I walk with an unsteady gait. I also tended to trip over nonexistant things on the carpet. I have had a few experiences with vertigo. I started doing some leg strengthening exercises, using a tens unit, applying heat to my knees, and taking a lot of ibuprofen and/or aleve. I finally mentioned this to my internist and he said to discontinue the Lipitor and it could take 5 to 6 weeks for it to get out of my system. It has been 1-1/2 weeks since I discontinued the Lipitor and don't know if I have improved ever so slightly or it is just my imagination. I have an apointment with my internist Jan 26 to evaluate the situation. I would like to hear from anyone who has experienced improvement and what was their time frame for improvement.

I was on Levaquin 2 years & Tequin 6 months for prostate infection. Off several months and on Levaquin 1 week late January 2003. Had doctor's treatment on a Hako Pain Machine (like giant TENS unit) and afterwards had tingling & walking-on-springs feeling in right foot. Later felt like I was vibrating in the crotch. Week later had tingling/vibrating all over my body. In legs/feet most of the time but other times all over. It can be terrifying. Local doctors no help so went to Mayo Clinic where diagnosed "small fiber neuropathy" and "diffuse vibratory sensation". I KNOW this is result of the fluoroquinolones. Drugs I have been on either don't work or give side effects too much to tolerate. Doctors I've seen feel it "may" be result of the antibiotics. I am trying low carbohydrate diet and absolutely no sugar as that triggers the vibrating sensation bigtime. So far I have not found anyone with quite similar symptoms to mine.
