Can Cephalexin Be Taken For Joints Pain Despite Having Diarrhea?
i had a Bladder infection & I hurt so bad all over & everyday it is getting worse, it is in my joints & sometimes it is even hard for me to walk. Before I started taking Cephalexin 500 MG 3 times a day for 10 days. Right away after 2 days I stomach started bothering me, I was tired & I was napping in the morning & afternoon because I didn t feel like doing anything. THe I got diarrhea & the light came on in my head so I cut back to one in the morning & one at bedtime. I was some better except for the joint pain & it was only today I thought I bet anything it is the meds. I will call my doctor in the morning but should I discontinue to use it. I only have tonight & tomorrow to take it but the hurting is almost unbearable

Can Cephalexin Be Taken For Joints Pain Despite Having Diarrhea?
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of the Cephalexin. I recommend you not to stop the treatment of antibiotics. I suggest using Imodium for diarrhea. I also recommend using daily probiotics. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
