Suggest Treatment For Muscle Tear

Brief Answer: The antibiotics may not be the cause! Detailed Answer: I'm not sure that you can entirely blame your antibiotics for all of your medical symptoms. From what you say it sounds although you had an osteomyelitis or bone infection in your toe. This appears to have been appropriately treated. If your antibiotics finished in January it is unlikely that they are continuing to contribute to your current symptoms. Its unfortunate that you had what sounds like a tear of your gastronemius muscle. This can take weeks to months to completely improve and its likely that because of your foot and calf problem you have been limping. You don't say whether you have been using crutches. This alteration in your weight bearing can certainly contribute to the fact that your other joints have been painful. I note also that you have osteogenesis imperfecta. As you are likely aware this condition is caused by a genetic mutation that causes an abnormality in type one collagen. Type one collagen is not only found in bone but also in cartilage. Bone and cartilage are the substances that make up your joints. It could be that the symptoms you are experiencing are related to degenerative changes in your joints because of your osteogenesis imperfecta. Other inflammatory problems such as gout, commoner in people with high blood pressure, can also cause multiple joint pains. Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis can also affect mutiple joints and may be worsened if you have been limping. I would encourage you to see your family Dr for reassessment with your new symptoms. Some further investigations as the cause of your joint pains should be undertaken.
