Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I underwent two IUI procedures, and both failed. But in my second IUI, the doctor gave me five HCG injections from my fifth day to the ninth day. She asked me to come on the tenth day for a checkup and gave me another injection called Ovitrelle 250 mg. The very evening after taking this sixth injection, I began developing skin rashes like small red circles all over my arms and legs accompanied by severe bone joint pain all over my body. I checked with my doctor the next day, for which she gave me anti-allergic medicine for my skin rashes. But I am still having the bone pain, which gets severe every night as I sleep. It took 14 days for my bone pain to subside, but they have not entirely left my system. Please help. Meanwhile, my second IUI failed.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the query.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you are suffering from a drug reaction with joint pain. Joint pain may result from allergies. The allergic reaction by drugs can cause joint pain and muscle pain. Even autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or any joint pain may aggravate by allergies. So controlling allergic reactions may help to reduce joint pain. You can take Cetirizine, Montelukast, and oral steroids for subsiding your allergic reaction. In case of any other query, ask me.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you so much for your reply.

Will Ultracet tablet be effective, doctor? That was prescribed for me, but I did not take those tablets during my IUI procedure.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for joining us again.

Yes, you can take an Ultracet tablet, which contains both Tramadol and Acetaminophen for pain relief. For your allergic reactions, you can take the medications as follows:

  • Tablet Alerid (Cetirizine Hydrochloride) 10 mg once in the night for seven to ten days.
  • Tablet Singulair (Montelukast) 10 mg once in the night for ten to fifteen days.
  • Tablet Deltacortril (Prednisolone) 5 mg once in the morning after meal for five to seven days.

By taking above mentioned medications, you will be able to subside your allergic reactions. If any other query, knock me, and I will try to reply to you further.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

Can you please tell me how long this bone pain will last? During my second IUI, I had to bear this pain for two weeks, and it was horrible. The body pain kept coming back, worrying me, and my doctor did not properly diagnose. When will I be relieved from this pain permanently?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the query again.

I think this pain will stay for a few days to a few weeks. Sometimes it will last for two to three weeks. Do not worry. I assume this time it will not occur again. It will be subsided very soon. In case of any other query, ask me.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
