Valtrex kidney pain

Common Questions and Answers about Valtrex kidney pain

valtrex

Avatar m tn ve read that some discharges like this could be linked to poor kidney function (which perhaps might be caused by the valtrex?), prior to kidney stones, or simply excess semen... could it be something like that? Any help or insights you could provide would be helpful!
Avatar m tn I am a male, and had 5-min sex with a woman I recently met at the end of September 2015. Biggest mistake of my entire life. In mid October, I started feeling a lot of pain in my penis, as if someone was pulling my urethra from inside. I was diagnosed with NSU, I had a slightly red meatus, and was given antibiotics. The pain did not go away, I went back to the doc and I was diagnosed (confirmed) with a UTI. I requested an HSV 1 & 2 IGG and IGM Herpeselect test at the 2 month mark.
Avatar n tn I started with a light milky discharge from my vagina and have a lot of pain when i pee and urine hits the sores as well as extreme pain from the rectum when i have bowel movement. I am seeing MD tomorrow but he gave me Valtrex just to be safe til I see him (I am an RN and was self-diagnosing). My only confusion now is the fact that I have the dry ulcers running up my back.
739424 tn?1235229504 another concern is that the packet that came from the pharmacy with the prescription specifically names one of the antibiotics that i have been taking intravenously for the past few weeks as something not to take with valtrex as it may cause serious kidney damage. i just stopped taking the iv med 1 day before i started taking valtrex. should i be concerned about that? and shouldnt the dr have paid attention to that risk?
Avatar f tn For the past week I have been having more severe symptoms as above including leg pain and muscle pain in lower back and discharge. Could I get sores on scalp?
Avatar m tn Also, if I take Valtrex 500mg every day for the forseeable future are there any risks? i.e. kidney/liver problems down the track etc? Thanks.
Avatar f tn I will gladly look at any herpes testing you had done. did you have more blood testing done at the other clinic? yes you can still perform oral on your partner. you should not be taking 1 gm of valtrex 3 times a day every single day!!!! You need to stop that immediately!!! I also recommend you have your provider do a kidney panel on you to check kidney function if you've been on that dose for more than a week.
Avatar m tn I still have the itching,redness,soreness,anal itching and some surface sores even though I was taking the Valtrex daily. My insurance will not cover the Valtrex so now I am taking Valacyclovir(1 gram) daily. Do I need to take it twice a day? I really can't take the constent soreness,itching and pain almost daily and need some help.
Avatar n tn Herpes absolutely causes low back pain, buttock pain and leg pain below the buttocks. I have had herpes since 1989 and I ALWAYS know when an outbreak is imminent because of these symptoms. Know your body and pay attention to the ailments that immediately precede an outbreak. Unfortunately it seems I know more about the virus than any of the doctors that have treated me do. And they don't seem interested in learning, only prescribing expensive Valtrex. SMH.
Avatar f tn I have genital herpes and it seems like everytime I have an outbreak i have a UTI first. My cultures come back positive for bacteria and I treat it. my symptoms (pain, bloody urine, straining) always clear up pretty quickly. Last month I got a kidney stone which I thought might be related to the acyclovir i was taking so I stopped. Within a couple weeks it started happening again. Ive had 2 OBs in 6 weeks, both preceded by what I think is a UTI. Has anybody else had this happen BEFORE an OB?
Avatar m tn Is the pain people talk about with a herpes outbreak the actual open sores that are painful or is it a generalized pain ? The pain I am experiencing is like someone has the tip of my penis in a vice... I am going out of my mind becuase it literally has been 2 years of on and off pain and this irritation/ stinging/ tingling sensation... ejaculation makes the redness/ stinging worse- any advice would greaty be appreciated...I can not get the thought of herpes out of my head.
Avatar f tn I have had chronic dizziness, brain fog, feelings if unreality, and severe ear pain- feels like burning aching sensation. All I have for a diagnosis is that one test out of 4 was positive for ebv- the IGG, suggesting a recent infection. I have felt theses symptoms for 3 months. Anyone have success with valtrex alleviating symptoms ?My Dr. prescribed it for 1 week. I also take desipramine (TCA) and have not had any relief from that yet either. It has been 2 weeks.
Avatar f tn And are there very mild rashes sometimes, but considerable pain? I have been having pain, sharp and stabbing sometimes, but skin that feels like it is burned. I have a few small blisters on my back under the shoulder blade, then one under my right breast, and one on my nipple. They have been there for about a week, and are itchy, sore and red at times. But I am having pain that comes and goes in the band between the back and around to the breast. Could this be shingles?
Avatar f tn My doctor told me to stop taking Valtrex for a while to let my liver regenerate. While I think Valtrex is an excellent drug for treating HSV 2, I think users should take into consideration that long term use can cause some mild to moderate damage to the liver as my tests have proven. Also, anyone using Valtrex should not drink ANY alcohol while on it because it will exacerbate the problem with your liver. I'm hoping in a few weeks my liver tests go back to normal.
3229560 tn?1347037510 I am going to have my Kidneys and liver function checked every 3 months for now. Valtrex can cause kidney and liver issues, and renal issues, but all medications have a list of side effects, so far I have had no side effects at all, except I feel better, that's a great side effect !!!!
Avatar m tn I had a kidney transplant 2 months ago. In that time ive also met a girl who told me she has hsv-1 oral from her mom. My concern is that we'd like to get intimate with each other but are hesitating bec of my immune system. We were planning to be extremely safe with her being on valtrex, using protection etc. but still in two mind about it. Does me being on immunosuppresants increase my chances of getting hsv ? I was tested before my surgery and I was never infected with hsv1 or hsv2.
Avatar m tn Thank you so much I have been freaking out all week.
Avatar n tn having stinging pain upon urination.( worse in the morning time than in the afternoon and night. warm shower helps).had urine cultures x 3 which has been negative. seen gyn-no inflammation seen around the vaginal area. std test negative. last year had the same symptoms but had a UTI. took cipro which killed the bacteria however, the burning/stinging pain upon urination was still present.
Avatar f tn My 29 year old daughter had a severe and frightening reaction to Valtrex. She had cold sores and began taking 500 mg Valtrex, per script. She took one in the am and one in the pm for five days, and as adverse effects appeared, she cut back to one in the pm for four more days. She progressively became psychotic, experiencing altered states of consciousness, panic attacks, uncontrollable crying, tremors, and extreme fear. Blurred vision and the inability to focus were also taking place.

Avatar f tn Now i stopped taking valtrex and i get a mild pain in armpits after i shave a week ago and had a lump on my right arm almost sure it is lymph node from what im reading in the internet. The lump is 1cm not big at all but it hurts. This was last week thursday, i applied warm water and stopped shaving and took a valtrex and a keflex, the next day the bump went down and the right armpit is so much better.
Avatar f tn The same day the burning stoped and i used the antibiotics for 7 days, after two days of using antibiotics i got poking in my left side of stomach my left rib was like hurdin, got back pain, kidney pain, like my whole body was itchy like somethong bites me and stops.My left eye was twiching eas like waterish the both eyes i all left side of the body feells weird, my musscle in left hand was twiching like crazy i drunk apple coder vinegar and it stoped.
Avatar n tn If not severe i do the topical Acyclovir, if severe i get on the Valtrex immediately. The last 4 yrs it has recurred every month or so. It is now eating into my sacral nerves and i have neuralgia. Right now i have lesions and the pain shoots across both sides of the buttocks. It is creating sciatica down my legs. I also have a cutting sensation in the vagina at times and a feeling of something moving in the last 7 inches of my lower spine.
Avatar m tn Towards the beginning of our relationship, I accidentally transferred oral HSV1 to my girlfriend genitally. Last week, we went to have unprotected sex (like we normally have) and she complained of some pain. EVERYTHING I've read has stated that if you have oral HSV1, then you can't get it genitally. Total and complete BS. Looking back on it, the pain she described does seem as though she's having an outbreak.
Avatar f tn I went to my PCP who diagnosed me with herpes from visual inspection. He prescribed me Valtrex and tested IGG and IGM antibodies. The bump was already going away so I did not start the Valtrex. 5 days later I discovered two more small bumps on the inner labia minora. I went to the gynecologist one day after discovering the bumps and was swab tested for herpes. I also started the Valtrex. She diagnosed me with herpes as well, (since at that time the IGM test had not came back).
