Ucsf symptoms and conditions

10 months ago I was injected with Septocaine for a lower mandibular nerve block for a root canal in my lower jaw, right side. Since then I've had a terrible paresthesia of my tongue, right side, with burning pain, numbness and tingling, stiffness, and terrible taste sensations 24/7. This drug is dangerous and should be banned IMO. I don't know what I'm going to do... there is no treatment for nerve damage. I contacted Dr. Tony Pogrel at UCSF in California who told me that surgery is not indicated for injectional injuries and that if it doesn't clear up by the third month then the chances of recovery are "very poor". Just great. How the heck did this drug EVER get FDA approval????????

My son was prescribed Strattera for ADD. 25 mg for three days,
but when the dosage increased to 40 mgs, it was a nightmare.

This was the worst medicine I have ever had my 12 yr old son take. He lost his appetite, had insomnia for several weeks and behaved like he was in a stupor when he was awake.
I would NEVER EVER have him take this drug again and I do not
recommend it to anyone else.

To the recent poster who mentioned gluteal pain, yes, I have this too and lower spine. My right shoulder was in burning pain for one or two months and the rotator cuff eventually tore.
My legs are so weak and my left leg is nly 50% of the strenth of my right leg. I drag it like Quasimoto becuase it loks on me. My intestinal tract is so shot I have been going through all kinds of tests at UCSF and now STANFORD and it looks like I might have Chrohns disease. Insomina huge problem. I wake up when I do sleep and my body and especially mhead and neck area "shutter"...like a huge tremoring. My whole body seems to feel gripped inside, tight. It makes me moan without even thinking about it and kind of fighting for my breath. Nerves are shot, can't stand in any lines . Too much fear of gripping and panic. Had none of his until after taking the Levaquin.
