Any Side Effects Of The Rocephin Shot (Page 3) (Top voted first)

Updated

I have had bad pain in the upper part of my leg and my hip since I got the rocephin shot. My leg got so sore about 2 hours after the shot, that I could barly walk on it. Now it hurts constantly and it catches and shots pain at where I sit down and stand up. I can hardly walk on my leg. I am wondering is this suppose to happen after this shot. I didn't have this before.

I got the shot after i was disgnosed with a kidney infection. The next two days were the worst days of my life. I was fine the next day until about 1:00pm then I noticed it really was hurting me to walk so I took a nap. When I woke up I couldn't move from being in so much pain. I am just glad that I grabbed the phone before I went to sleep. Nothing more scary than waking up and being in so much pain that you can't move. The nurse told me it would be sore but nothing like this. I also experienced upset stomach , couldn't eat, and vomiting.

I just had the shot a few hours ago to treat uvulitis(sp). also got a shot of prednisone. the nurse was really nice and warned me it would hurt and said she added lidocane to help. i felt the med going down from my hip, turn to the inside of my thigh and run to my knee and then to my ankle! it was like a traveling bruise!! it was the wierdest feeling. i wanted to tell her to stop but i was desperate to get immediate jump on helping my throat! she did stop and make sure she was truely in a muscle and she was. interesting post you guys have going for sure....... i will definately be letting you know about the next few days. oh, and for comparison reason ill tell you ive become a fat person after having horrible complicatiosn of a csection, i now take hydrocodone 10mg every day and my csection was 3.5 yrs ago

On Dec. 5, 2011 I was given an injection of Ceftriaxone , which is the ingredient in Rocehpin. It was given to me in the buttox/hip & the pain has been unbearable ever since. The doctor, after a week gave me an RX for an anti inflammatory which didn't touch the pain. I went to see another doctor who gave me prednisone on Dec. 23rd with no results. It just keeps getting worse & worse. The pain goes down my thigh into my calf & has began to go into my other leg also. Sitting is the ultimate worst but the pain is constant. On a scale from 1 -10 it's 10 in the mornings. I've now seen a chiropractor who is going to order an MRI for me today & I'm trying to get a referral to a neurologist from the 2nd doctor I saw. I'm interested in the class action suit mentioned by LaTasha G but would like to know how to contact her. After all I've read on this site it's very scary. I'll keep you updated.

I'm 15 years old and I'm pretty tough when it comes to pain and shots. Shots to me are really no big deal. Not this one! Iv never experienced so much pain in my legs. It felt like someone shot me with a gun. The needle itself did not hurt but like 30 seconds after you feel it. It feels like venom. I got dizzy, I felt like I was going to throw up. The pain was so bad I passed out on the way home. After 7 hours it still hurts really bad! Good luck getting the shot!

Rocephinis a very powerful antibiotic. It is preferrably given IV because it is such a thick serum to inject. Lidocaine is mixed with the Rocephin to ease the pain of injection into the muscle. I received the injection in my thigh a week ago. My thigh muscles have been very sore and the area around my knee is
covered by a large bruise. Icing and Ibuprofen have helped, but walking is still painful. My physical therapist says to stretch it gently and keep moving to keep the muscles loose until they heal.

IM injections are often given incorrectly without proper marking of landmarks & can cause nerve damage. This is what your problem sounds like to me.

I got rocephin on 10/28/2012 - I went in for temp and was dx with pneumonia, sinus infection and ear infection - today is 11/6/12 - I called the doc who gave me the shot he advised that I would need PT and could refer me- otherwise I would need to see orthopaedic surgeon- WHY???

Had this shot several years ago. I could hardly make it to the car afterward but had been a told that walking it off would help. It went away after a week, but never seemed to completely heal. The littlest things seem to set it off like small turns or bends. I have been to chiropractors f which seemed to make it much worse. Deep tissue massage helps, but I can't afford a personal masseuse.
my concern now is that it seems to have worsened over the years and is now constantly there. It affects sleep, sitting, walking and pretty well every activity I enjoy.
I have had many instances of my back going out, but it always seems like it stems from that same muscle area. I
Pretty well have just went on as it seems that no-one can
Truly fix this. But I worry that down the road this will only get worse. Has anyone found out what can be done? Sometimes it feels like the muscle is tightening with all it has on my piriformis. At least that's what I picture in my mind. I have to bend my leg a certain way just to fall asleep. Please keep me posted on what's going on with this. I feel for anyone else going through this. I don't think
Anyone who hasn't experienced this themselves can understand what we are feeling.

My twin boys that are two had this shot and they also have asthma in my opinion it really helped my boys in the past this time his leg has a lump and this didn't happen last time i think it s how the injection was givin it is very thick and maybe if they dont go deep enough i could see haveing pain and if it was done wrong it would probably be twice as bad

It has been 2 weeks since my shot. I still have a knot in my butt and the pain is getting worse. I had vaginal itching from it and throbbing pain in my upper leg. I have this week experienced severe itching on my leg, mild rash with raised bumps, numbness, burning tingling sensation. This is NOT normal. Can't hardly walk. Taking Ibuprophen every 3 to 4 hours. Pain is coming up around my hips now. I will NEVER, Ever get this shot again

I have read all the posts about what the rocephin shot has done,I too am having terrible pain after receiving the shot in my upper left hip.Every time I have been to the Dr.for anything the Dr.just looks at me and says I will give you a shot,seems to be his suggetion for everything.This has been my third shot of rocephin within a year,and I had started noticing back back after the first but didn't pay it any mind,went for an xray he said it was arthritis,so about a month ago I went to him for an infection in my throat which was a result from an infection from my wisdom teeth.So after this last shot of rocephin I have been in the absolute worst pain where the shot was given,I'm also having pain down my legs into my feet.I went back to see him and tell him what has been going on he blew me off and sent the NP to evaluate me.But sent me home told me to wait it out.I'm in so much pain and I'm miserable.Don't know what else to do.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your post!!! So so so many way to many people do not realize the dangers of taking something as simple as an antibiotic, steroids, anti inflammatory's and other commonly used drugs that they HAVE been given before they can develope an allergy to at any time unfortunately I had to learn that with not only myself but my daughters as well. I hope you shared this on fb or MySpace. The awareness you are raising is good ppl need to ask what they're bein given every time as well. I hope lots of ppl have read your post. Thanks
