Sulfamethoxazole and joint pain

I'm on the third pill and am already experiencing EXTREME joint pain (knees and elbows mostly), as well as nightmares and a cold fever while sleeping. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to request a different medication. I was giving this medication for a UTI infection.

I am a 42 y/o woman rxed sulfameth far a UTI. I just completed my 5 day rx. From day one I had diarrhea, and stomach upset, but for the past 2 days I have heartburn which was rivaled only by the hearburn when at the end of my pregnancy with twins. It burns when I eat, and when I don't. I have gas, and the burps. And today I have begun to have joint pain in my jaw, throat, and in my chest if I take a deep breath. The strange thing is I have taken Bactrim in the past with no ill effects. Is the generic really that different...or am I just old! Hopefully the side effects will subside now that I have completed my course of meds. (it also made my chronic eczema worse...but just about anything can trigger that)

I tool one pill and a few hours later I was shaking uncontrollably and extremely cold. I had joint pain, aches in bones and muscles throughout my body. I had no energy, could not eat or sleep. I never want to experience this again. It was far worse than flu.
The doctor recommended three Ibuprofen and Benedryl exery 3 hours for the pain and to "get rid of the toxins". It took three days to return to normal.
Do Not use this medication!

I started taking Sulfamethoxazole for a bladder infection. The 3rd day I experienced joint pain in my legs, the advise nurse told me to continue with the meds, I did. The fifth day I suffered lower back pain, joint pain, and by the evening had a temp of a 101. The advise nurse told me to continue with my meds. The 6th day, I had a fever, nausious, went to my DR, my fever was at 101, abdominal pain, chills;I gave more blood, after 3 hrs of waiting for results, she looked at me and said she didn't know what was wrong with me...she had discussed my symptoms with a disease specialist and said I was probably experiencing drug fever and to stop the meds (2 pills left). When I got home my fever was at 103.5...
The next day, my fever had broke, I had a migraine all day, I went back in to give more blood. The 8th day, I woke up which appeared to be a sun burn on my face and ears...which led to little red bumps all over my body. The advise nurse looked at my chart and said she didn't believe this medication would cause this...I told her I was allergic to this medication, she wanted to know why I thought that...

Severe Joint Pain - Was prescribed this drug for Urinary Tract Infection. After 3 doses of Sulfameth/Trimethoprism started to get pain in right thumb and right ankle, and bunion on left foot. Went to bed, and woke up with severe joint pain, felt like a charlie horse, in same joints plus additional. Now both thumbs, right knee, right ankle, and neck.

Sexual disfunction. that should be enough .I work out daily and manage a Gold's Gym. So the disfunction is NOT poor health. My wife is experiencing joint pain and muscular ache as well as lack of sleep. She is in her early 20's. I am in my 40's.

Major headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, tingling in the hands, joint pain - general achiness, like the flu. I have been taking Sulfameth for two days, but after experiencing these side effects, and reading that others have experienced the same - I am stopping. There was no indication at all of any side effects, nor were there any warning labels on the bottle.
