"I'm suffering from severe tendonitis/arthralgia or bursitis that is excruciating, to the point of absolute tears, when I awaken. It takes all I have to endure the sharp, searing pains that race through my shoulders, elbows, back (lower and upper), and I am still recovering from back surgery/instrumentation, my legs and feet, my hips. I can honestly say I am experiencing pain on level '12' on a 0-10 scale. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. It takes me a half hour to get out of bed. By about two hours, my pain medicines from my back pain (intractable) take effect and I am able to hobble. Throughout the day, I gain a little more mobility. I watch the symptoms move about my body; not diminishing, only moving. At night, it starts again."

"I was prescribed topical ointment for my nostrils for an upcoming surgery. I've encountered a headache ever since I started using it. My surgeon prescribed it for an upcoming surgery."

"After several uses of this effective medication, I started having a sense of dizziness, shortness of breath, and shaking. Now, if I use it just once, I have an occurrence of the same symptoms. I think I have an allergy to Bactroban, which gets worse every time I use it."
