Is There Any Connection Between The Drug And The Connective Tissue?

I reacted to Ciproflaxicin although I have had it before. I also suffer from connective tissue disease. When I had the reaction my whole body ached and my legs hurt bad when standing up. They do not hurt that bad anymore but feel very heavy when walking. Right knee felt like it was going to pop. Is there a connection between the drug and the connective tissue

Yes it has a direct connection when it comes to the drug reaction as you had got.

Allergic reactions create such mediators of inflammation which destroy the connective tissues also, especially the joints tissues are affected severely. Immune complexes and mediators of inflammation causes swellings of the joints with Redness.


You should take Loratadine and Methylprednisolone to get relief of the effects of this allergic reaction.
