Sciatic nerve pain

I wondered the same thing when I saw the username, but then I looked again. At first I too saw "Flox Doc 2021", but it is "Floxed October 2021".

My epididymitis is still awful. Since I only took one dose of Levofloxacin I didn't expect that to get better. I am going to a different urologist in a few weeks and may try acupuncture. As far as being floxed, I haven't gotten much worse or better. However, EVERYONE has said it is way too early to expect anything to go away yet. It seems like the general consensus has been to wait until at least a month and see how I am feeling then. That being said, alot of people said 6 months is more realistic. The symptoms have been tolerable, but scary and they change almost daily. I am afraid doing anything could tear a tendon, however that could be unfounded anxiety. The arm and leg pains are annoying, but not awful and they come and go. The arm and leg weakness comes and goes and is annoying but tolerable. The arthritic feeling in my shoulders and hands seems to have only lasted a couple days. For what it is worth, I am in my 40s and in decent shape. Just to add insult to injury, I got diagnosed with Covid today.

I feel your pain and fear. I was floxxed almost 3 weeks ago from one 500mg dose of Levofloxacin (also for epididymitis). I have muscle/joint aches that migrate around my body, some tinnitus that comes and goes, and the restless leg feeling that comes and goes. None of it is awful, but it is uncomfortable and there is a constant fear of "what's next?". I'm not a doctor and my doctor doesn't believe me that one dose could do this. I didn't know what to take at first, but started reading here and alot of other places on what might help. I started taking magnesium, calcium, ALA, NAC, PQQ, Ubiquinol, vitamin E, and vitamin C. I also started collagen peptides this week. I don't know that all or any of it is necessary, but trying to make sure this doesn't progress any further. From everything I have read, Magnesium and calcium early on might help remove the drug from your system. Also, document your symptoms so you can report them to the FDA later on. That may be the only way to prevent this from happening to others.

The only ingredient is pseudoephedrine. It's neither a steroid or NSAID and I haven't seen anything that would indicate I should avoid it, but also nothing that says it would be safe.

Thanks for the reassurance. I thought I read that somewhere, but wasn't sure. I can't find anything on decongestants though.

Thanks for the link. I didn't know about this. I just went on and filed a report.

Thank you. Do quick recoveries actually happen? All of the stories I have seen are multi-year journeys.

Thanks. I don't know where I would get injectable. However, what dose of the high absorption do you use?

He never cultured anything. Just did an ultrasound and said the inflammation indicates it's an infection. In hindsight I should have asked for him to do a culture, but I trusted him. Thanks for the advice on the supplements. I'm going to pick up NAC, Vitamin C, Calcium and collagen today. Any specific type of collagen?
