Lower Back Pain, Weak Legs. Bruises After Taking Toradol, Demerol, Verset. Side Effects Of Medicine?

I feel lower back pain incluiding leg weakness. Few weeks ago a doctor gave a order of skelaxin 800mg and ultraset. Both 3 times a day for 7 days. The same week they put me a intramuscular toradol, demerol and verset. After these I noticed few bruises in my legs and arm. Also noticed swollen glands. this week the dr gave a order of Xanax. Now I noticed some bruises again and muscle pain. it could be medicines or another condition?

hi there,

Thanks for your query.

You have not mentioned the site of swollen glands. If they are painful, it suggests bacterial infection which has entered the skin through the abrasions. Muscle pain may be due to the infection.

The rashes/bruises may be due to allergic reaction to either oral drugs or injectable drugs.

Consult your treating doctor who will evaluate you and prescribe appropriate treatment for infection; and, switch over to alternative drugs/injections for the other problem.

Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
