Horrible Back Pain

Updated

After using Symbicort for only two days, I developed intense back pain sending me to the ER. That pain began on May 25th and it is now July 9th and the pain is still very bad, mostly in lumbar area and side. No pain down either leg. After going to ER two times for pain help, and two other doctors. I went to a pain doctor. I was given an injection in my back on the right side on June 25th. I am due for the second injection on July 28th on the left side. The pain is still severe and I am on Hydrododone 7.5 / 325 every 4 hours. The pain doctor wants to be in complete charge of pain meds, so I am only on the hydrocodone. How long does this Symbicort remain in my body? I am really depressed and discouraged. Please help. I had done nothing to bring this pain on and first noticed a slight back pain while reclining in chair watching tv.on the first day I had used Symbicort.
the second day was worse and so I discontinued Symbicort after using for two days.

Some of my meds, like Symbicort and Prilosec cause muscle cramps and spasms. When I take Magnesium, I feel much better. I am currently taking 400 mg of Magnesium each day, along with Calcium and Vitamin D which some meds deplete me of.

I would like to know how long Symbicort remains in ones body after taking prescribed doses for two days only. I am having on going bad back pain for seven and 1/2 weeks now with no let up in the severity of pain. I am on hydrocodone every 4 to 5 hours.

Hello, Barbara! How are you?

At this point, I highly doubt the pain has been caused by the Symbicort. While it has been known to cause some issues, such as those Jeanne mentioned, they are usually transient and go away, within a week or so, of discontinuing the medication.

Other typical side effects of it, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include dry mouth, funny taste in mouth, headache and dizziness.

If you only used it for 2 days and it's been almost 2 months, then it is most likely that something else has caused your issue.

Has the doctor done any tests?
