Any Side Effects Of The Rocephin Shot (Page 4) (Top voted 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.

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.

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?

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?!?!

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.

I went to the doctor today because the Rocephin shot I received for Strep Throat about a month ago appears to have caused my hip socket to ache. I waited before going back to the doctor because I'm a big guy and maybe it's the way I'm sitting, sleeping, shoes I'm wearing, not getting enough exercise, maybe it's because of sitting on my wallet, etc. I tried to remedy each of these situations but the pain still exists. I've been taking 4 Aleve per day just to walk reasonably well.

I said enough was enough and I went to the doctor today and explained my dilemma. I told the nurse and the doctor that I received 2 shots that day (1 in each hip) but while one hip is fine it feels like the hip the "nurse" gave me a shot in was a little high. Looking back on it now I thought that the "nurse" gave me a shot in my hip socket. At this point, that is what has appeared to have happened. Apparently my hip is infected / inflamed at the moment. They gave me an oral antibiotic and steroid to overcome the issues at present. The part that had me concerned was to watch the staff scurry like rats when I explained my situation. I ended up speaking to the doctor, RN, and Clinic Manager. The X-Rays came back negative and I'm hopeful that no permanent damage has occurred. If the pain persists, I may reach out for legal opinion. Of course, the lady that administered the shots left the clinic a short time ago.

I got the same shot yesterday. Still in a ton of pain. Except its affected my entire hip and leg. My boyfriend does really believe it hurts like that. So until I found this I felt like a big baby. Its really hard to walk. And the nurse and doctors never told me of any side effects when I asked. Also sometimes at the injection site I feel a prick or stab just trying to roll over or sit. How can I convince him this is real pain? Any suggestions would be a great help. Sorry so many ate going through this as well. Sending love and hope the pain stops for everyone

I got a shot of Rocephin & 4 azithromycin pills at the ER due to a possible infection after a d & c due to miscarriage. I felt fine but I start noticing my skin felt like if it was covered by fire ants. I called the nurse who said if I didn't feel out of breath it was "ok". That was Friday. Saturday I started having severe chest pains went back to ER everything was normal said it was costochondritis which is an inflammation of the chest muscles. Sunday was horrible but I didn't go back.Monday I felt ok a lil bit of chest pain, Tuesday I started noticing a ripping sensation on my stomach but it wasn't to bad,Wed I had severe LEFT lower stomach pain, tachycardia & high BP but NO fever. i ran to ER they did a ct scan everything was normal except my left ovary vein was enlarged & focal infection by right kidney still didn't match up with my symptoms, thurs I felt awful same symptoms again but I decided not to bother. Its Sunday & I'm still having the burning, ripping, peeling sensation underneath my skin that goes down my legs & around my pelvic & stomach. I had the shot on my hip. I'm not sure if the shot is the cause of the pain or maybe something really went wrong in the d & c, I have an appointment with OB to rule that out after I'll see my GP to figure this awful pain / sensation if it's not an OB problem. I also heard of some people having a genetic disorder being triggered by certain foods & medicine.kinda like an allergic reaction but it's not treated the same as a typical allergy Ex: Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP), also if you have an undiagnosed connective tissue disorder such as EDS some medicine are really bad for your tissue & you can get pain off that.. Might be something to check out if you guys haven't had much luck getting better. :/

I have the same experience. Went to a Dr Goldstein here in NJ, and he gave me a shot of Rocephin along with 4 pills of Acethromycin. Within 24 hours my lip swelled and I have intense pain in my lower back. I went back to the Dr office to explain my side effects, and he had his assistant come out and tell me the side effects I am having have nothing to do with the injection. I would like to be part of this legal case as well.

My one-year-old received a Rocephin shot but had no issues whatsoever. Other than the administration being exceptionally painful for him, he was fine. He still has a small lump in his quadricep area (where the needle was inserted) that you can feel if you rub there.

I found out this shot (on it's instructions!) should be mixed with lidocaine. I was told by some not to mix it with lidocaine! That is sick if you ask me. It happened to me a few years ago and I couldn't hardly walk for 3 days. It was excruciating. Anyone who does that is a sicko...
