I am currently on Bactrim 800 mg. twice a day. I started last Friday. I have noticed that all my joints are very painful. (toes, ankle, knee, elbows, and mainly hands) I have tingling and numbness too. Is this a reaction to the sulfur drug? I have had joint pain before in my knuckles, but nothing like this and goinng on 4 days.

Bactrim has been known to cause a variety of adverse affects even after being on the drug for days. People can have a latent reaction. So definitely stop the medication and get back with your primary care provider to select a different medication. Allow the Bactrim a couple of days to clear your system, before starting a new medication. JH, NP
If you did not have the joint pains and tingling while you were taking Losartan and Minastrin Fe then it is very likely that Bactrim is causing your current symptoms. Ask your doctor if you can discontinue the drug or have a change of antibiotic. Where those symptoms go away, then it will a confirmation that Bactrim was responsible for your joint pains.
