| 1 | Infection | Back and leg pain. Almost impossible to sit or sleep without pain. On scale from 1 to 10. Pain is an 8. This is now 5 days later and still not getting better. | Do not take Rocephin!!!! | F | 21 | 1 days 250mg | 1/21/2015 | 4 | Pharyngitis | Excruciating pain. IM shot on the right buttock. Almost passed out..dizziness, clammy and this sudden feeling of extreme lethargy. | Did help my throat a lilttle bit. But never gonna take another IM rocephin. | F | 34 | 1 days 30 mg | 12/27/2014 | 4 | UTI | shot hurt a little when injected...I hate needles but this wasn't as bad as other shots I have had | worked well for UTI I have trouble with oral antibiotics and side effects so I liked this a lot better | F | 63 | 3 days not sure 1X day | 12/26/2014 | 3 | Poss. kidney infection w back pain | Took to jumpstart an anti-biotic. At the doctor's office, within a minute of injection to my upper right buttock, I almost fainted, both arms went tingly and then numb, face turned grey and lips turned blue, vision fragmented and froze in spots, became very cold with the shakes in the office for about 30 min. Also, about an hour later, my left foot apparently went numb without the tingling and as I put my weight on it, I couldn't feel it and sprained my ankle. Also had a bruise at the injection sight for over a week and a knot at the injection sight (still) 2 weeks later creating pain (1 rating). OTHER THAN THAT, it fixed the back pain (5 rating) = 3 rating. | F | 43 | 1 times 1G 1X day | 6/3/2014 | 5 | UTI | no side effects at all, maybe a tiny sting when it was injected..can't believe all the pain ppl had with the shot. | Cleared up the UTI really well | F | 62 | 3 days not sure 1X day | 3/21/2014 | 1 | Inflamitory disease | I went to the doctors for severe reoccurring pain to find out I have inflamitory disease. I had told the doctors that I'm allergic to rocephin, only to find out that the only thing to help treat is a shot to jump start my two weeks of rocephin twice nightly doses. I asknowlege that this may have not been the most brilliant idea but it was that or two days in the emergency room on an iv drip and being the lone care giver of three kids this could not happen. Fever. Mood changes. Puss from eyes. Mouth sores. Muscle pain. Loose stools. Worlds worst experience. | F | 24 | 2 weeks 100mg | 4/7/2013 | 2 | Pneumonia | Horrible side, leg and buttock pain. I was given the shot on 10 & 11JAN 2013. Today is the 12th. Feeling numbness in lower leg. Started zpac today as well. Abit worried with this pain as it is creeping throughout by body and back. | F | 40 | 1 days 1X O | 1/12/2013 | 1 | I had strep throat | I am currently stuck flat on my back.

IT SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. | M | 42 | 1 days IM injecti 1X O | 7/3/2012 | 4 | Uti and kidney bacterial infection | I went into the dr. Office today, extreme lower back pain, turned out to be a bad kidney infection. Dr. Gave me the shot to jump start the antibiotics. Nrse said it was thick and would hurt. It made my leg hurt so badly I could barely walk. Hobbled out to the car and couldn't drive. 4 hours later and my back feels better, but still hurts to put any weight on the leg. | F | 36 | 1 days Shot 1X day | 6/21/2012 | 5 | Lyme Neuroborreliosis | slight neck rash that has gone away by next day | My daughter had been diagnosed with Lyme in 2009 and was only put on Doxycycline.She had been in bed 24/7 since 2007 an in constant pain, heart problems,arthritis, RSD,Insomnia,CFS,Fibromyalgia,etc since 2004.In Sept2011,I noticed neuro symptoms similar to Dementia patients. Took her to a new Infectious Disease, had an MRI done, showed Brain inflamation, had PICC line done on her arm and started IV 2Gm everyday. She will have it for 6months+. She is walking more (has been in wheelchair last 4yrs) has not worn sunglasses(had severe photophobia last 4 yrs)The bad news is that she has alot of mental issues that were never there.Afraid to sleep in her room, hears things, won't take a bath or shower etc. Brain cells do not regenerate. We have to hope for the best | F | 23 | 3 weeks 2Gm 1X day | 11/5/2011 | 4 | unknown infection | 116 of these painful shots with lidocaine and all is well, the last two sent me to the er room, it wasnt until we connected the dots when we realized these were now turning on me.. started with mild back pain, then pain in the general abdomial area to a degree it's not on the pain charts, horific pain that lasts another five days then isolates on your left side, like a broken rib, all ur stomach muscles are strained which causes more pain, you cnt talk, barely breathe due to the pain, you pass gravel like stool for several days, i know it was the rocephin because i received two shots apart and that evening i was in the Er. CT, blood, xrays, urine all looked good.......docs didnt even consider allergic reaction to rocephin which it states on all the site can cause servere adominal pain, colitis this and that,,im on my 3rd day of round 2, today i can stand without a heatbad on me 24/7, i can breathe, but the pain is still there, ive had 15 operations, none of em hurt like this.......up t | M | 41 | 4 years 1grams 4X M | 8/7/2011 | 1 | For a Viral Infection | I took the shots in my upper arms in the ER three months ago and I am still in severe pain in my arms, when I move them in an upward movement. I lost partial mobility in my left arm and my shoulders are totally numb, except for the pain. | M | 66 | 2 days 2X day | 8/4/2011 | 1 | for bronchitis | swollen tongue, rash on back | F | 61 | 1X day | 5/19/2011 | 1 | sinus infection/bronchitis/cough | Extreme leg pain, deep muscle bruising. | Got this as an initial antibiotic shot in the ER. Holy crap does this stuff hurt!! They mix it with lidocaine....trust me, not that helpful. Three days later and I have a deep muscle bruise on the side of my leg the size of a softball. Hurts to move it at all, don't even think about touching it. Then to top it off, shot did nothing....so not worth the pain!! Ice packs are the only thing that helps at this point. | F | 31 | 1 days 6cc w/lido 1X day | 3/14/2011 | 5 | lyme disease | abdominal pain; gallstones resulting in surgery | Despite having gallbladder out- was worth it as greatly improved neurologic sx of lyme ie; speech and memory problems; too bad it is so controversial | F | 38 | 28 days 2g 1X day | 2/28/2011 | 5 | chronic sinusitus | I infused with a pump at home with aid of home health nurse for starting IVs and regularly checking and changing site as needed. No side effects even though I have a long list of meds I am allergic to. I end up using this method about once every 5 years for severe flare-ups and have always had great results. | F | 53 | 14 days IV 2X day | 1/22/2011 | 5 | Severe Bronchitis - COPD | Must be emulsified with Lidocaine in intra-muscular injection. | I get the 'CRUD' twice a year: persistant bronchitis. After trying many, many series of oral antibiotics, I finally insisted on an injection of Rocephin. It works - all the time, every time. I usually take a follow-on course of Avelox (good stuff, too) or Leviquin. One shot kill. | M | 59 | 250X4 1X day | 12/5/2010 | 5 | Recurrent UTI | Loose Stools and Pain at injection site. Works well!!! | F | 30 | 2 days 1X day | 8/17/2010 | 3 | Yes | After three days very loose stool so I had to take something else to help with this. Things were ok until day 14 and then two hours after dose temp dropped out from under me, 94.2. Terrible shakes, felt like I had the flu and then temp went up to 110.9. After a few hours it stopped. This happened four days in a row also my blood count dropped three times in less than a week. I had to stop the med after 18 days. | Was told this is the best for advanced Lyme's. Does anyone out there have any other ideas? | F | 60 | 18 days 2000 MG 1X day | 3/22/2010 |
