How Long Will Joint Pain Last After Taking Doxycylcine Hydate?

How long will joint pain last after taking doxycylcine hydate? I took the medication 2 times a day for seven days for chlamydia. After taking a single dose of antibiotics, the std did not go away. So I waited about three months or more and tested positive for Chlamydian again. So the Dr. prescribed me doxyxylcine. On a couple of occasions, mostly morning, I had nausea. One of the mornings I went to grab the remote and got an alarming pain in my left elbow on both sides of the joint (bicep/tricep). And it has continued to spread throughout my other joints on both sides: knees, knuckles, and elbows. I stopped taking the medication on 5-28-14. I d like to know what s the usual recovery time from this side effect if at all? I work out and I have had to stop all activity due to this problem.

This isn't that typical for doxycycline. Some STD's can infect joints and the joints usually but not always look like they have infection. AND far more common, if someone has an infection, everything from a cold to overwhelming gonorrhea sepsis, it makes one feel sick and have joint pain.

Then, sometimes, joints get irritated and have pain.(but it wouldn't be that many points and not on both sides usually) For me, that lasted months but was clearly improving in 2 weeks. Lifted something wrong and strained the tendons. My muscles built up faster than the tendons.
