I have two questions I developed what I thought was a yeast infection after taking antibiotic for a sinus infection. It wasn t a yeast infection I was told it was ecoli the dermatologist took a culture. This is one of the most painful skin issues I have ever had and I had shingles and this is worse. The pain is over the top They are now putting me back on antibiotics is this the right treatment. I have also been diagnosed with CRPS and poriactic Arthritis and I can t take the meds for that as it messed with my immune system badly. They had me on oxycodone and I did take them for two days at a two hour interval instead of 4 as that is what my doctor said for the pain. I am now out of my pain meds and have been on this for more than two years I am fearful of withdrawal symptoms what can I expect.
Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, you seem to have few medical conditions like sinusitis, skin infection must be virus, suspected ecol, arthritis and pain condition and none of then related with each others neither they are being finally diagnosed, if no bacterial infection is there then no need to have any antibiotic as long as the sinusitis is concern, antibiotic may not cause the yeast infection, if this is the virus infection of the skin then it is the self limiting one and may not need any treatment such virus infection could cause the pain in that area and this may last for long time, I would advise you to just low down the stress and take it easy all of that are not dangerous and will soon get well hope this information helps.
