Hi.after very recent Hip Replacement and suffering badly swollen leg I was prescribed Amoxicillin. I had only been taking it for just 3 days, but the swollen leg broke out in small red bumps, and I became aware of severe muscle pain in shoulder's, hands and arms, and neck !!

has anyone suffered from the same ? I was told to come off them immediately ! anyone else suffer the same, and if so how long does the pain last ?

    Amoxicillin is a very weak antibiotic, but i suppose everyone is different, me personally found it weak, and i have taken it three times for dental pain, it temporarily solved the dental pain, but the happiness was short lived. It shouldnt cause pains, perhaps something else is causing these issues. Speak to your GP.
