i had a kenalog injection about 3 weeks ago. a few days later, i got sinus infection , ear infection , and cough. i was on zithromax for 5 days. i got worse. i then developed a fever and was put on levaquin for 10 days. i eventually started to feel better but it made me very achey and nauseated. at times, i would throw up. i have been off all antibioitcs now for about 5 days or so, yet since finishing it up, i have a migraine that has developed and never left, accompanied by bouts or constipation and diarrhea. i am having severe abdominal cramping and if not throwing up, i am constantly nauseated. i tremble and get dizzy at times. i can no longer sleep more than an hour or two a night. could this be the the colitis levaquin warns about? a stomach virus? my IBS flaring up after 8 years? It s been almost a solid 5 days of doubled-over abdominal cramping, loose stool, extreme nausea, poor eating, and lack of sleep. do i need IV fluids? colonoscopy? endoscopy? Please help!!!!
Hi, it is not clear why have you got analog injection. It is steroid injection have some side effects. Gastric upset is not uncommon. Increased chance of infection is associated with it. Your symptoms sound like IBS. But more detailed clinical history needed. Go for a stool routine and microscopic exam first. Consult a physician.
