Having a flaire up at the moment 3 days on metronidazole and still in pain Dr has now out me on a second antibiotic called doxycycline it says take two the first day then one aday I took them both together has any one eles done this worried
I take Cipro and flagel which is metronidazole.
I had to take 4 of one pill a day and 3 of the other. So I took the 1st and last dose of both pills at the same time, and split the other 3 pills throughout the day. I had no problems at all, apart from the usual side effects of the runs and feeling generally less than 100%. So I wouldn't worry at all.
The pain don't seem to want to go this time the Dr said if no better today for me to go to AE really don't want to do hanging out a bit
I'm sorry to say that for me it sometimes takes weeks or even months for the pain to go after a flare. Don't know how long you've had your pain, I certainly remain in pain whilst taking the pills and for some time after. I would go to A&E if the pain worsens or is unbearable, but I do take paracetemol as a pain killer.
Thank you Felicia I have been in pain for years with this but it calms down for a while then comes and goes but I must admit this is the worse I have been hospitalized three times in 6 years and I know it did me good but the IV drips well what can I say
