(Newest replies first)

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 posted on here Dec 14, 2012 it's post #41 on here. It's been a year and a half since I have gotten my shot in the hip/buttocks area on my left side. I am still in pain every single day!!! There is still a small lump where I received the shot. The pain is so bad some days I cry. My back has given out on me 3 times. I have a steady constant pain everyday some days are just worse than others. I never had any of this pain before this shot and I sure never thought I would have it for years. There has to be something that can be done if there are this many people complaining about this shot!!

My 11 year old daughter received the shot in buttox. She could NOT walk for 6 months & wheelchair bound. She still does NOT have function of leg that was injected on that side. Basically they hit the siatic nerve & it paralyzed all her lower body & she was also urinating on herself. She did NOT have a lung infection which was proved by X ray & should NOT have received the shot. Also because she's underweight they should have NOT given it to her in the buttox. .....FOR THE PERSON WHO IS ON HERE STATING PEOPLE JUST WANT TO SUE.....MABIE DR'S & NURSES NEEDED TO BE BETTER TRAINED WHEN IT COMES TO INJECTIONS. I have NOT sued anybody but had to quit my job & home school my child because after the shot she became immune suppressed along with being in the hospital multiple times & physical therapy 2x a week. She still is weak, pain throughout leg, unable to run, climb, or jump & it's been 9 months. She could barely walk but has to push & pull the injected leg.

Redness and soreness of the injection site is the number one side effect. Not only for Rocephin but any IM injection. I've had 2 Ricephin injections in the same week for a severely abscessed tooth. I work at a doctor's office. I had my injections and went right back to working. Was it painful? Yes...like anytime a needle is injected into your muscle. The medication itself burns but it's over in just a few minutes. Rocephin is given for serious and acute bacterial infections. It helps with these infections. Without a powerful antibiotic, you could even die from certain infections especially once they enter the blood stream causing sepsis. It's hard to believe that so many people are sue happy. This is one of the main reasons healthcare is so costly. So these doctors and this medication may have saved your life but you've been left with pain. Maybe you should've skipped the therapeutic injection and just let the infection run it's course. Which by the way could have been devestating. There are risks to all medications and all treatments but you have to out weight risks and benefits.

I have this issue. It has to be the rocephin... I feel like someone should be held accountable, like my dr who told me my hip pain was from gaining weight, did an x-ray and gave me steroids... Ugh I'm so tired of being in pain.

OMG I've been dealing with that same issue for over a year. My Dr did an X-ray and said probably a pinched nerve and gave me steroids. Did you find a resolution to this agony?!?!

My 3 year old son took 6 rosephin shots in his legs, two for each day. Couple days later he complained about kidney ache (pointing his back where his kidney is) and his legs are hurting and the area shots were given are all swollen now. He cries, points at them and says it is hurting mommy. He has had other shots before and this never happened. I am rubbing it with lavender cologne and tea tree oil, looks like it helps. I understand we were supposed to rub it for a long time as soon as the shots were given, but we were not advised so.. I was wondering it anyone went on with the suit?

what was the outcome of your case? I got this shot last Thursday and it was sore at the time but that subsided. However 2 days after getting the shot it feels like I pulled a muscle in my back above the site in the behind where I got the shot. The pain has spread from the lower part of my rib cage on the left clear down to my hip. I seriously thought I pulled a muscle but now that its spread decided to research the shot. Which by the way I have gotten several times before without this issue.

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

I have looked at these and have noticed that no one seems to reply. Well I will. I don't know how much help I will be but, here goes. I had the same problem, mine was over a month ago and I thought it would never stop hurting. It still hurts every now and then and when I rub it or bump it, it will hurt for a while. The good thing is I forget about most of the time. I have noticed that where I used to have sciatica pain on my right side for a while only, but since the shot I also have it on my left. I work at a hospital and have been told that they are not supposed to give them in the hip for that reason, and are to put in arm or leg. Personally I will tell them I have reactions to the recephin shot and will ask for IV antibiotics from now on. I hope you feel better soon.

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.

I had a rocephin shot in my right buttocks area on June 26, 2013. It is now July 31, 2013 and it is still quite painful in the area of the shot. My clothes rub up against it and it feels like it is burning constantly. I also can't lay on my right side without it becoming uncomfortable. It is very sensitive to the touch, but does not have any discoloration. I can't help but think there is some some sort of nerve issue that is going on due to the way it feels anytime it comes in contact with anything. I've been waiting for it to go away and it hasn't yet, but has now been over a month. I'm now wondering if this is some type of permanent damage after reading all of these posts.. Fortunately for me, I am able to function and walk, unlike others. It's just extremely irritating and very sensitive to the touch.

I know this is years later, but I wonder what has happened with your problems? I am just beginning to search what could be my problem with this same type of thing.

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
