| 3 | Kidney/bladder infections | Two weeks ago I received an injection of ceftriaxone in my left gluteus maximus and my glute is still very sore. When I try to stretch it, it feels as if it is going to tear. | I believe the injection helped with the infections, however the lingering side effect of muscle weakness/pain is distressing. | F | 56 | 1 days 1X day | 10/26/2017 | 2 | infection | After taking a shot for infection previous friday the nextfriday the shot caused me go into cardiac arrest...dsngerious drug | Be sure to have doctor observation and trama team in case you have a reaction | F | 55 | 1 days | 8/1/2017 | 5 | Severe ear infection | None | Child felt better within hours and was finally able to sleep! | M | 5 | 1 days | 4/15/2017 | 5 | Possible Kidney Infection/UTI | Barely felt the shot and didn't have any pain afterwards. The numbing of my backside hurt more than the shot. It's only been 4 hours though, so we'll see. | I felt better within an hour or so. Would definitely take again!! | 33 | 1 days | 4/14/2017 | 5 | Possible Kidney Infection/UTI | Barely felt the shot and didn't have any pain afterwards. The numbing of my backside hurt more than the shot. It's only been 4 hours though, so we'll see. | I felt better within an hour or so. Would definitely take again!! | 33 | 1 days | 4/14/2017 | 4 | Cellulitis on my leg | Soreness around the area, tightness of the buttox it was injected in. | Hurts really bad, doesn't mean it doesn't work tho, it hurt and I never cried when I get shots, & I CRIED SO MUCH. I started feeling little better by the next morning, in my eyes definitely worth the pain. | F | 24 | 1 days | 3/7/2017 | 5 | UTI | Painful shot in butt but so worth it | UTI improved within 2 hrs! Miracle drug! | F | 39 | 1 days 10mg | 2/4/2017 | 4 | Pneumonia | On day 3 my tongue began to feel like I had burned it on very hot food. It has been 10 days and it is getting better but still uncomfortable. Also seem to have lost ability to taste food for now. | I took Levaquin for a week. Did nothing to help my pneumonia. I was hospitalized with rocephin IV for 3 days and returned for one shot per day for 3 more days. Rocephin did help. | F | 52 | 5 days | 1/29/2017 | 3 | I just got the shot for a UTI | It burns like hell!! But i know it will work. I am sitting at hospital waiting to leave so i can be off to recovery from the worst UTI ever. And we're 10 minutes into this shot and holy hell it burns and hurts like hell | I hope it works | F | 29 | 1 days | 1/27/2017 | 5 | UTI | Very painful injection in my buttocks. Sore for several days afterward | I always get the shot for UTI. I dread getting it, I am very skinny and it really burns going in, but it is the only thing that works. I have been brave this year and go at first sign of UTI. I no longer get lido, I walk for about 30 minutes after the shot. Just a note my doctor also gives me a B12 shot in the other cheek after the rocephin, other than a little pinch that injection is painless. | F | 26 | ? 1X day | 12/10/2016 | 4 | UTI | The shot really hurts! No other side effects. | I get this shot when I get a UTI. The antibiotic pills don't work and really make me sick. I hate getting the shot, it really burns and I am sore for about a day. it helps to walk afterwards. My doctor also gives me a B12 shot in the other butt cheek but that doesn't hurt, just a little pinch. I had about 10 injection in the last 3 years and it really helps me. It takes a lot to get me to the doctors because I hate getting shots but I know it will work. I just had one yesterday and my UTI is better already. I just wish it wasn't such a painful shot in my butt! | F | 27 | 10X O | 12/10/2016 | 4 | touch of pneumonia | This shot made my right leg almost useless when I received it. I could hardly even walk out of he emergency room and continued to have a limo for the next few days. I have a very high pain and sickness tolerance, cracking a rib and having a bad cough for two weeks before going to the emergency room. I have received many injections but this had to hurt the most. I only weigh ninety pounds, so injections tend to really get to me, previously resulting to swelling after a flu shot and severe pain because of tetanus. Even now, two weeks after the shot, I still experience tightness and pain in my hip. I have spoken to others who have had muscle degeneration after receiving this shot. This doesn't happen to everyone, but be warned. | This medicine really works. I was well the next day. With the side effects out of mind, it is a really good shot. | F | 18 | 1 days | 10/28/2016 | 5 | Unknown infection | Really helped | F | 38 | 1 days 40 mg | 10/2/2016 | 3 | infected abscess | Severe pain, bruising, swelling | I had it injected into the glut twice a day for 5 days after a week of oral antibiotics failed. It was unbearable afterwards from repeated injection into the same area. It's recommended to alternate gluts however with the infection in the other glut it wasn't possible (infected dog bite wound). Even with getting so many injections the infection did not go away. I'm sure if it wasn't as severe that it would have worked with a shot or two. | F | 25 | 5 days 1g | 8/5/2016 | 4 | Pneumonia | I was having HORRIBLE symptoms of fever, fatigue, chest pains, and trouble breathing. I went to urgent care and they diagnosed me with pneumonia, and gave me the Rocephin shot in my hip, along with a prescription for antibiotics and prednisone. It worked quickly. | F | 17 | 1 days | 7/30/2016 | 5 | Infection in bloodstream | I got the injection in my buttocks (not painful, but did take about 5 minutes to fully inject the dosage) The burning lasted about an hour then went away leading to some soreness. For some reason the Lidocaine in it made me really high which I didn't like but I got through it. On top of 2 other antibiotics I'm feeling better than ever. Highly recommend it for an infection in the blood stream and highly recommend Cardinal Medical Center in Vista Californa! Ask for Erin, she's amazing. | F | 19 | 1 days Unsure | 7/6/2016 | 1 | for lung infection | worst pain ever......for three days could not hardly walk because it bruised my muscle and flared up sciatic nerve pain from knees to waist.................unbearable | never again | F | 68 | 1 days shot 1X day | 6/21/2016 | 5 | Uterine Infection after miscarriage | The injection did hurt quite a bit immediately, but dulled to just soreness after about 4hours. The soreness subsided within 24 hrs | The annoying "pain in the butt" is so worth it given its effectiveness. My infection decreased noticeably in just 1 Day. No stomach upset like when taken orally 1 time use, VERY effective (and fairly cheap) | F | 26 | 1 days | 4/7/2016 | 4 | Severe sinus infection | Worst injection pain I've ever experienced, and I have probably had thousands of injections in my lifetime with a chronic disease. These shots burn going in, and cause your entire butt check to burn. Since it's a thick solution, the needle is larger, and they have to administer slowly, so it seems to take forever. Pain so severe that I was limping for 30 minutes after each injection. Walking helps to dissipate the med, and helps decrease the pain, but it still hurts for several days after each injection. | Works SO FAST though, that it almost makes it worth the pain! My sinuses feel so much better, just hours after the first injection. Way faster than oral antibiotics, and no diarrhea like the oral meds cause. | F | 48 | 3 days 1X day | 3/23/2016 | 1 | Staph Infection | A rash on the face that looks like tons of tiny white heads, almost acne-like. It appeared three days after I got Rocephin injected. Never had this medication before and the doctor is only guessing that's why I have this allergic reaction on my face. Taking antihistamines don't seem to even touch it. It's red and sore. | F | 31 | 1 days 1X day | 3/9/2016 |
