Hi all!

On July 2nd I was given a dose of Imovax Rabies vaccine due to a low risk post-exposure dog bite.

36 hours after my first dose I woke up with a burning sciatic/hip pain on my left side.... that cold tingling pain moved to my lower back around the L5-S1 area and subsided into a back ache 8 hours later.

Since then I have had a back ache that comes and goes... mostly when sitting. I have an occasional sciatic type feeling down my left leg. My glutes/hip have been burning from time to time. My feet have also started feeling like they are going to sleep when I sit. Also my two inner fingers on bath hands feel like they are going to sleep at random times.

A week later my joints started hurting at random times... mostly at night and in the morning... I have also experienced joint pain.

Yesterday I just started to get a burning and tingling pins and needle feeling under my skin on my head, neck, forearms and back. So far this has been very light and has been in the afternoon and evenings. Yay! More stuff!

The Doctor at the office where the Rabies Vaccine was administered says the back pain/burning is in no way correlated. I saw a neurologist for the back pain and sciatic type issues on July 16 and she said the same thing.

I just started on B-12, Magnesium and Ginger Extract.

Past issues include an annular tear on l5-s1 20 years ago (last issue with my back was 2003) and I had a bad reaction to Cipro back in December 2012 that I healed from in 15-30 days. That was mostly insomnia, joint and tendon issues.
