Avatar n tn I did some research and discovered that one of the side effects for some people is joint pain... I started experiencing some pain about 2 days after the last dose... then flat out couldn't walk without extreme pain on the 3rd day... it is now the 5th day and I'm getting better... as I understand it, Valtrex can linger in the body around 96 or so hours (4 days)... so, I'm pretty sure this explains it... wow, it was pretty horrible...
Avatar n tn I then went on acyclovir for 2 weeks, pain still there. Went to urologist, said prostatits. Cipro for 2 weeks still in pain. Then switched to Levaquin for 10 days. While still on the cipro I began to feel mild muscle aches. After 4 days of Levaquin my muscle aches and joint pain increased. I stopped the pill doc's orders 2 weeks later on no antibiotics.

Avatar f tn Common side effects are dizziness, ataxia, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, joint pain, motion sickness etc. You must tell your physician if you are allergic to valacyclovir or acyclovir. any kidney disease, blood disorders, immune deficiencies, dizziness etc. side effects associated are nausea, vomiting, fatigue, sore throat, hemolytic uremic syndrome etc. You need to be concerned about the cumulative side effects of the two drugs.
Avatar m tn Not long after she developed three largeish (1mm or so) nodules just under the skin along with joint pain. The bumps started showing over a week and as they got larger the joint pain spread up the finger and across the hand. As it got worse we noticed the pad on her hand next to the index finger was swelling with a lot of pain to the touch. We talked to another ortho doc and he said it was carpel tunnel, or trigger finger and wants to inject steroids.
Avatar m tn i started taking acyclovir a few days ago for the first time for a mild cold sore breakout. 2 days after i started, the cold sores got more intense, and 2 new huge cold sores came up out of nowhere. i have 3 more days left of the medication, and i'm going to keep taking it, but what should i do? these cold sores are not going away, and it seems like its getting worse! so done with these friggin things...
Avatar f tn No, I take Acyclovir. But I began taking the pils again after the joint pain started. I did some online research and turns out there is a lot of study going on tying RA to herpes. With the hundreds of different types of herpes viruses, some doctors believe that Rheumatoid arthritits can come from herpes.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with HSV 2 in 2009. I have recently taken myself off of Acyclovir due to the cost without insurance. I have leg pain again, which I haven't had since my first outbreak. Does this leg pain subside/decrease over the years like the trend of outbreaks?
Avatar m tn I rushed to the dermatologist and told him my condition. He said I have clinical herpes and gave me Acyclovir for 7 days with Ezythromycin for 3 days. I had developed a very bad cough meanwhile with pain in my knee, shoulder. My right shoulder (whole area) went severely spastic and would hurt bad when I coughed. Also, I started feeling that 2 points on the either sides at the back of my head are swollen.
Avatar f tn Anyway the type of nerve pain from Herpes is a stabbing needle-like pain in buttock, stabbing/tingling/burning in SI joint area, burning in bottom of feet,icy cold needle pains randomly in ankles, calves,top of foot, knees. Thighs numb, waist down to glutes numb, occasionally entire back numb feeling with sensitivity to cold/touch of clothes. Lips,ears, scalp occasionally tingly & numb. Severe headaches before & during the "outbreak" I haven't gotten any new lesions.
Avatar m tn A few days after the test I had an aborted herpes outbreak (took my acyclovir and had no fever, no legions, just the typical muscle pain and tingling that I get). One of the reasons that I'm finding it hard to let go of the incident and my HIV fear is that the outbreak was a long one, and I find myself left with intermittent muscle and joint pain.
Avatar f tn The symptoms I get from Valtrex is headache, body aches, joint pain and very bad pain in my spine. I stopped it. Side effect symptoms went away. The dose was 400 mg. 2 x's a day, but I only managed 1-1/2 days on it. I just filled the acyclovir 400 mg, but cut dose in in half as a test. I'm nervously waiting. How are you doing on acyclovir and do you take it episodically or every day?
Avatar n tn To that end, anytime you do suffer an outbreak the pain in your body before and during and outbreak (joint, back, muscle, fever, exhaustion, all over aches) is 10x worse on the implant leg. The pain is crazy weird. Its deep in the bone as though you can feel the actual implant? Good news: doesn't last. It does clear up as the outbreak dissipates. Would suggest you add liquid Ly-sine to your regime for herpes meds to keep outbreaks at bay.
Avatar n tn There is no pain in my neck or any where else. Therapy has not helped. Am taking 800-1200 mg of Advil and 800 mg of Acyclovir daily, plus Alcum for pain at night. All the doctors so far have said it happens with shingles but not genital or simplex herpes.

Avatar f tn Then I waited couple more days bc I was worried about getting dizzy with acyclovir and working. My dose is 400 2x a day. I took half last night, felt ok, so taking the normal dose today. I have pain in backs of thighs and butt. Sore to walk and feels kind of like a bee sting. I got quite a bit of swelling too. Dr just said I need to get on the anti viral ASAP and stay on antibiotic. Anyone else have this?
Avatar m tn Are you having joint pain ? Are you having eye sensitivity/redness ? Were you tested or treated for chlamydia ? When I was at my worst, about 90 days post exposure, I was extremely fatigued also. I had major joint pain in my knees, lower back, Achilles, toes, knuckles, as well as psoriasis like lesions on my elbows and knees. I was unable to sleep as well. Working was very difficult at this time. The Prednisone saved me.
Avatar n tn Once and awhile I will get a migraine often accompanied with with a scalp breakout and I stop taking the Acyclovir and lysine until the pain goes away. Then I resume my acyclovir and lysine. I now rarely have any problems. But I always have to go a week once and a while without my Acyclovir and Lysine. Is the herpes virus simply one of my triggers or is the herpes virus the root cause off all my migraines, I don't know. The pain and breakouts are always hemispheric in nature.
Avatar f tn I am taking acyclovir 400mg now. Already I have taken 30x200MG and 12x400mg acyclovir. It seems the blisters are reduced now. Do I need to take more acyclovir? Please suggest....appreciate for you help...
Avatar f tn t breathe and lungs felt like they were on fire. Joint pain and cracking. Even my teeth hurt. Nerve pains - stab, shooting, electrical, burn. Dizziness. Diarrhea foul smelling. Tests: MRI head not neck - normal Ct scan with dye (which I reacted to and fainted) abdomen for lymphoma - negative Ultrasound of liver because albunim was slightly elevated showed benign tumor.
