Common Questions and Answers about Avelox and cellulitis

avelox

Avatar n tn For many years I have pains that pop up for no reason in joints and muscles and last for usually three to six months and then vanish. I get rashes and tiny red spots on my shins and then clear up. The rashes last about the same three to six months. I had these pains in both my shoulders at once, which almost never happens, so I thought it was my rotator cuffs going due to the work that I do.
Avatar f tn Avelox... I went yesterday and saw a lung specialist, he calmed me down and told me that i only have a little pneumonia in my lower left side it's nothing to be worried about. It's the bronchitis that's causing a lot of pain in my chest and back that I did not have prior to the antibiotics.
Avatar m tn On January 16th, after popping an ingrown hair on my shaft, I developed fever/chills overnight, and my penis shaft swelled up tremendously in a few hours (all symptoms of cellulitis). No sores, just swollen. Doctor said he was certain it was cellulitis, and prescribed antibiotics which fixed everything. After doing some reading, I found that cellulitis can affect people with HIV because of their weakened immune system. I guess it is the timing of all this that has me scared.
Avatar n tn t abated, provider considered trich, and mycoplasm as possible culprits). I was also put on avelox 400 mg for 10 days as well. Currently I have 6 days remaining on the doxycycline and 9 days remaining on the avelox. I have not engaged in any sexual activity whatsoever since my diagnosis however I still have a very mild clear mucus discharge primarily in the morning; the penile itching and dysuria has abated.
Avatar m tn I have had a round of Avelox a few weeks ago and recently Omnicef 600mg/day for 10 days and still have discharge. Question, wouldn't these antibiotics be affective against NGU, Chlamydia or Gonnorrhea? Thanks for the help.
1373852 tn?1307843048 t end up with avelox but took leavaquin that is a kin of avelox and six days later ended up having respiratory failure and in the hospital for 3 months one of which I was in icu on a ventilator.Since then I have had widespread muscular pain and multiple tendonitis as well as other issues so I don't agree that these antibiotics don't have side effects maybe you should read up more about the new black box warnings.
Avatar m tn After trying Doxy, Azithromycin, and Flagyl, the only antibiotic that finally worked was Avelox. The question now is what I should treat my partner with. I know from my experience that my NGU was passed sexually, and she needs to get treated before we can have sex again. The problem, is that she said she is allergic to Avelox. Another problem, is that since it is NGU, we cannot test to confirm if the bacteria is cured, and she is also asymptomatic.
Avatar m tn If the tendonitis is due to Avelox then yes, it can be treated as usual. The pain and inflammation will subside once the medication leaves the body completely. This may take a week. This is treated with NSAIDs, rest and orthotics or specially designed foot wear to ease the pressure off the tendon. Take care!
Avatar n tn t mention drawing blood for a CBC, although I did get an antibiotic injection and a script for Bactrim and circle drawn around my cellulitis lesion. Am I totally out of line to worry about possible granulocytopenia? I know it's very unlikely on only 5 mgs. So should I not worry at all unless I also develop a fever and sore throat, which according to the internet, are the classic symptoms of reduced granulocytes? Thanks.
Avatar n tn It has been over 3 years since I had cellulitis from injections in my neck and base of skull. I also have experienced chronic fatigue and a general decline in my overall health. At first my whole body swelled up. I was on IV antibiotics then switched to oral for a few months. Any insight would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn If feasible you should then have a candid conversation regarding the risk of surgery, the likelihood that surgery would relieve your symptoms and the odds that, if not surgically addressed, the varix might present with complications and, yes, it is possible to have cellulitis behind one's eyes . In my reading I noted that there is a reported association with venous anomalies intracranially which may or may not directly communicate with the varix 1.
Avatar f tn Took Cipro and the sinus pain was not improved so that was follwed by a course of Avelox where I ended up in the ER by day 7 on it [couldn't walk on my own needed IV fluids]. Off it for a week now and still really tired, various nerve pain, joint pain, muscle fatigue...seems to cycle, weak and dizzy, some blurred vision but it's all better than it had been just seems it should be gone since the meds are out of my system.
Avatar f tn I also have Diabetes Inspidus and am often incontinent and sweaty, but with dry mouth nose and eyes and a terrible thirst. I am female, aged 44, and not yet menopausal. I currently am recovering from a cellulitis infection in my right arm which has been there for about 5 weeks, it peaked at about 3 weeks ago. Just as it is getting better, the sweats and fever I normally suffer whilst having this are not .
Avatar m tn You can see from the information below, the signs and symptoms of orbital cellulitis and the information you have provided suggests that these signs and symptoms, including fever, are not present. This, plus the lack of progression or worsening suggest that you do not have orbital cellulitis. And, clearing of the green drainage suggests that the sinus infection is subsiding.
Avatar n tn I had one get infected several years ago and ended up with a nasty case of cellulitis that ended me up int he hospital for 7 days and I nearly not only lost my hand/arm, but also my life. Please get this checked out immediately.
Avatar n tn My husband is 75 years old and have been dealing with cellulitis (inflamation and redness) on his right leg for over a month. He is been taking antibiotics intravenously and also in pills, but this does not seem to help. He also have twitching of right leg and a lot of pain all over but more in his back and knees. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? ANY IDEAS?
Avatar m tn I was Dx w/fibro last year but have had symptoms for six years. Now something new has popped up: I have had cellulitis twice in the last eight months and the lymph nodes under my arms are swollen to the size of golf balls and very painful. My dr says that it's a result of the cellulitis and I will have to go on periodic antibiotic injections until the swelling goes down. What next?
Avatar m tn The reason why i suspected Cellulitits is because the sores developed rapidly, the area around them was inflamed, and cellulitis is common complication of athlete's foot. I'm thinking about buying some antibiotics and anti fungal cream (even though the athlete's foot is practically all cleared now).
Avatar m tn Afternoon. I have had cellulitis in my nose for over a month.... took Bactrim, Clindamycin, and another 5 days of Bactrim.. which didn't help in the first place... but... i have this swollen membrane (i guess) from the tip of my nose about 1/2 inch back... it always feels like it is going to swell up again.... with no insurance another 125.00 is not what I want to pay since it seems like none of that helped anyway... anybody have any thoughts on this one???
Avatar m tn Was there any kind of a small break in the skin anywhere around where the cellulitis was, and did it just keep getting bigger and hotter by the minute? , hour? or day? Was it a short term exposure of great amount, or, long term of small amounts? Before I sit here and hunt and peck a book....LOL.....I will wait for you to respond or who knows....Maybe go backstage to check in there..Have a wonderful Blessed Day!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!
Avatar f tn Now bring to last year... I popped a pimple and ended up with cellulitis really bad on my face... Which happened two more times after that. Would it be worth it to try and get another tattoo or should I just never consider it again?
Avatar f tn Did anyone else get this in early pregnancy? I'm only 18 weeks and it's so sooo painful. It's on my left nipple.
