Have been on Amox / Augmentin for over a month to quell double abcesses in teeth while waiting for appt. for triple extraction(s), which finally were accomplished six days ago. Feet were mildly affected during antibiotics before surgery, then post op, at 3 days, began with feet tingling/sensation and right leg affected, an occasion of finger numbness in left hand. At 5- 6 days painful, sensations continue leg muscles seem stiff, feel as though made of wood . though I can walk and circle ankles. at day 6 I chose to discontinue Augmentin and Ibuprophen Rx- in favor of 200mg only over the counter Advil, began taking B-complex vitamin and vitamin C today in hope of restoring nerve function. Do I have the right idea, that this may be an Augmentin and extraction related issue?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you had extraction of the teeth he pains in the hands and legs are not connected to the dental issue pain is due to spinal issue and with thorough clinical Neuromuscular assessment we can estimate the problem and with MRI we can come close to the root cause. Usually in most cases it is pinching of the nerve in the cervical and lumbar spine as I notice in my regular clinical practice. I will recommend you to undergo physical therapy as by which your symptoms will be reduced, and full functional ability will be achieved. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
