I Was Prescribed Sulfamethoxazole Tmp Ds For A Sinus Infection Week And Half Ago Suppsed To Take It 14 Days On My 9th Day At 6am Wok
UpdatedI was prescribed sulfamethoxazole tmp ds for a sinus infection and was to take it for 14 days. On my 9th day I woke up at 6 am having terrible muscle soreness and pain for no explainable reason. I couldn't lift my right arm without my bicep and forearm being in awful pain. As the day went on I still experienced pain but it seemed to diminish some. The next morning I woke at the same time and in worse pain. It was excruciating just to move. I tried reaching my doctor but decided to just stop taking the antibiotics. I only had 3 more days. The following day the pain was dull and almost non-exsistant. I had never had such a reaction in my life but I guess it's safe to say I'm allergic to this medication and will never forget it.

That's actually not an allergic reaction, but it can be a possible side effect, though it isn't a very common one.
Have you talked to your doctor, yet?
It would probably be advisable for you to avoid this medication in the future. There are quite a few other posts about people that experienced some of its odder side effects.

This is another known permanent reaction to Cipro & other antibiotics! Happened to me as well, but TG it went away!!!
Okay so my son was told to take Aleve for muscle pain in his arms and chest area then was prescribed tmp for a infection on his toe now today he has used the bathroom and there was blood in his stool could this possibility be a side affect from both being taken together
