Hi well I want to give you some basic info, my name is Jenn I am 18, 5 1 and very overweight . Anyway I recently got diagnosed with cellulitus due to a scratch by my dog. I am on Augmentin the highest dose 875-125mg twice daily, my question is this can Augmentin cause nerve damage? Other then the cellulitus I have been having health issues but doctors think its anxiety/panic attacks. Anyway I haven t slept really for 8 days, I was having panic attacks in my sleep. I recently started taking the augmentin (day 3 in the morning) and I feel worse, YES the swelling in my arm is going down but I am having back pain , bad tension headaches, (I have been having weakness only on my right side for about 3 months now in the middle of testing) and also starting today (2 days into the antibiotic) my feet ( both) feel very stiff its unvonfortable sitting for to long (can this be caused by not sleeping or something else??) and my legs are weak and I can not stabd for very lobg my back hurts, and I get dizzy. But strangly when moving my feet feel a BIT better. But now a frightening new symptom appeared and I don t know if it is from the Augmentin (this NEVER happened to me before.) My right ring finger is bent and doesnt want to straighten but can be straightened if I really try to but just resting it it remains in a bent shape ( not at the tip the bend is more towards the middle and bottom) and now my fingers from time to time spread out the dont stay side by side when I m resting my hand it doesn t really hurt its just very annoying and when I squeeze stuff it s very week and I can t squeeze that hard (this problem with my hand is only the right one) also it feels like an electric shock going through my hand and fingers when I do tasks with it it s overall weak but the ring finger is VERY weak and can t do anything with it (what can this be I m nervous!) also I have had tests for Lyme (negative), a bunch if blood tests to do with my heart (fine), anemia (fine), Mono (negative) no diabetes, and I have had 2 EKG S both fine. My only medical problems are asthma (even though I know if your diagnosed it never is cured its always in you just dormant but I haven t had an attack or needed my inhaler in over 7 years) and carpal tunnel other then that Medically I have no other issues. Sorry this is so long I really appreciate your help and time!
