QuestionI have been diagnosed with pneumonia. After 4 days of antibotics (biaxin), steriods (prednisone), and other perscribed medicine, my legs have started hurting really bad. From my hips to my shins. It's almost like a charlie horse or growing pains. I've taken ibuprofen and tylenol with no relief. I'm 25 years old. Would pneumonia cause any leg pains? Would the infection spread to my legs or another part of my body?
Thank you
AnswerWould pneumonia cause any leg pains? Yes, it causes pain all over.
Would the infection spread to my legs or another part of my body? Not likely if you are on the correct meds. Call your doctor to be sure. OK?
You will feel better if you take the following nutrients if OK with your doctor. OK?
