Swollen, sore joints. Red spots like bug bite on legs turning into bruised lumps after taking Cipro for stomach infection. Itchy new rashes on legs and arms. Help
Patient: I was given Cipro xl 1000mg on April 3 for a possible stomach infection.  I had severe stomach cramps and loose stools for 2 weeks prior.  After taking one pill, legs started to beak out with spots like a bug bite.  Within 8 hours the spots swelled and got big and red like a bee sting, and hurt the  same. My legs also swelled.  I went to emergency and was told to stop taking the cipro.  By April 8, the joints in booth legs and ankles were swelling.  I went to a local Dr. and he described Prednisone 5mg--2 tablets 3 times day for 3 day, then 2 tablets twice a day for 3 days, then 1 twice a day for 8 days.  Today my joints are still sore and believe I have tendeitis in my right ankle and the spots on my legs are hard lumps turning into bruised areas.  I am developing a new rash, on legs and arms which is very itchy Doctor: hi good day to you i think you may have drug reactionas you are suffering from pain and if u taking pain killer and steroid medicine better you dont take it for long timefirst you have to consult orthopedic surgenfollow his advise and though you dont feel good you have to take homoeopathic medicine from experienced homoeopathic physician
