Any Side Effects Of The Rocephin Shot
(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.

Did your symptoms ever go away from the Rocephin shot? Is there a class action suit? My boyfriend is really in pain from it 6 weeks out and can barely walk sometimes. Thanks.

My boyfriend got this shot in his butt which was really the hip 6 weeks ago. He could barely walk leaving and ever since has had severe hip leg and low back pain. Can barely walk sometimes. He was not like this before and got the shot for a cut finger. This shot has devastated him. He cant sleep or live normally.

I have the same symptoms as you after receiving a Rocephin injection one year ago. I went from a painless life to barely being able to walk after sitting. The hip pain is enough to take your breath away. I know your post was from 2011, so please tell me you got better and the pain finally left.

My daughter eventually recovered from the shots. It took a couple weeks before she could walk up our stairs without having pain. I definitely will not allow her to receive this shot again.

Typically, if administered correctly and with no allergic reaction, a shot of Rocephin should hardly be noticeable. It sounds like many of you have had allergic reactions or have had nurses/doctors administer the shot incorrectly.

The shot should be administered IM (IntraMuscular) in the buttocks or through IV. If you've suffered and had other issues due to a shot being administered wrong then you could have a case for legal action because the medical professional was negligent. If you had an allergic reaction then there are no legal grounds. It is a strong cephalosporin (similar to but stronger than keflex) and should not be taken if you are allergic to penicillin.

I had a Rocephin shot myself once, due to an abscess tooth that swole to the size of a baseball in my face. I didn't notice any side effects at all. It did help, very much, with the infection though.

In 2008 I went in for what I had thought was a torsion in my left testicle. They said it was epididimitis. Was given Ceftriaxone injection in the inner left thigh. Went home. Took a hot bath. My left testicle and scrotum immediately swelled as soon as I got in the water. I think this Antibiotic damaged my testicles.... Other cases say it can cause blood vessel inflammation and I think that's what happened to me.

Is your 2 year old getting any better?? Are there any other symptoms? I'm sorry this is happening to you :(

Any other symptoms along with the lump? Are you on health insurance? Might wanna run thru doctors till you find one who will at least try to figure out how to make it go away. Did you contact the FDA? Maybe if we all do that they'll actually listen.

I know this sounds crazy, but I received a Rocephin shot at the Dr on Tuesday for pneumonia. On Wednesday I started having pain shooting down my right arm from my elbow to my wrist that comes and goes. It seems to be triggered by moderate use. I did receive the Rocephin shot in my right hip which seems weird that I would have arm pain, but that's all I can think of that was out of the norm prior to the arm pain starting. I don't take any daily meds either besides vitamins and collagen supplements. Just wanted to share in case anyone has dealt with the same thing and think you're cuckoo like me! It has to be from the shot. Although I workout regularly and am an active mom of 4, I've done no strenuous activity since I got sick over the weekend prior and haven't been able to honestly. Stinks to finally be feeling better (it's Friday now) but have this lingering phantom pain!

What became of this situation? My two year old recieved this shot and is in horrible pain. I’m really worried it’s going to cause long term damage.

Re: Ber (# 108)

It’s been 12 months since I had the shot and I still have a large lump under my skin where i was given the injection. There is also a dip in the skin directly above the lump.... I’ve had multiple doctors look at it and they all seem confused when I tell them that I received the shot a year ago... It causes slight but tolerable pain that radiates down my leg and has ever since the shot. It definitely doesn’t seem normal for a simple antibiotic shot, an entire year later.

They are not suppose to administer that shot in the arm. Its to thick. Has to be in a meaty muscle area such as the thigh or buttocks

Still haven't heard anything back from the FDA. What kind of symptoms are you having?
