Amox Clav 875mg Off-label Uses

Updated

I am developing rheumatoid arthritis and each a.m. must grab onto the nightstand beside the bed and literally pull my aching body out of bed. UNTIL.....I was prescribed amox clav 875 mg for a lung infection and the arthritic pain has mysteriously DISAPPEARED!!!! COULD this be a new drug for another ailment???

No, it is an antibiotic that will only effectively treat infections, however, if you had some type of severe infection roaming your body, it is highly possible that some of the symptoms it caused, were mistaken for arthritis symptoms.

I have had this exact situation I am 17 and I have had rhuematoid arthritis and been taking arthritis meds for a full year. I developed a lung infection and they took me off my meds to do the antibiotics (amox-clav 875MG) but once I started the antibiotics I felt fine again as soon as I stopped my hands hurt terribly. I know this is a long shot but I would really love to talk to you about how things worked out, being in such a confusing situation where none of the doctors know whats wrong with me.

The pain in your back may have been from acute pleurisy, which is a lung condition especially if you have severe chest infections, it may feel like it's coming from your back your side your upper chest and hurts to cough, move stretch, turn etc... It may be that your other condition believed you to think it was arthritic related, just a thought
