That sucks to have to be on the receiving end of that many sticks. I think sometimes medications are infused too fast for a particular patient. The pumps are often pre-programmed for set rates of infusion based upon the medications and the amounts being used. Some folks, and/or their veins, simply can't tolerate those particular pre-determined rates of infusion.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I ended up with a bunch of shots in the azz, rocephrin and some sulphur something or other were two I recall, a little while back. They made me sit there for a while afterwards while some nurse stared at me.
No pain. Stopped the streaks going up my leg.

MM, a 20 minute wait was routine to observe for possible reactions.

woke up last Friday,( 5\20}with a horrible sore throat.
went to bed lathered up in ben gay, tried to get comfy, not much luck.
woke up next day, back was fine ,now neck was so stiff, could barely move my head. And ,my groin was super sensitive.
couldn't hardly walk. I hope you get better. Maybe stay away from Ben for a while.

FLUFFY " ... got another, stronger med. Levofloxacin ..." Yep, had the same reaction but not as seriously. After two days, called the doc. He said to stop the Levofloxacin immediately. Mine was prescribed for three days after a prostate biopsy. Now if a doc asks my if I'm allergic to any meds, I answer, "Yep, Penicillin and Levofloxacin." Ain't taking anymore of that stuff.  L.W.

levofloxacin.
well,every bone in my body, every joint hurts like crazy. not just a little, either.
just a heads up. That stuff hammered the crap out of me too. Many different side effects and an allergic rxn. Not fun, not good. IMO You are better off not going to the Dr unless its absolutley needed.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.
