I was taking 500mg three times a day. After 1 week I developed severe joint pain and swelling in my fingers. I got an itchy rash on the bridge of my nose and over my eyes and inside my nose. The joint pain continued to my knees and toes. I have been off of the medication 3 weeks and I am just starting to feel a little normal. a different doctor put me on 800 mg of Ibupropen 3 times a day and after reading up on the side effects of Cephalexin I began taking Benadryl which has helped a lot.

I was put on a 10 day course of cephalexin 500 mg. capsule therapy post-operatively. About the 6th day I started to develop a rash, however did not attribute it to the medication until I noticed that the rash started to spread with each subsequent dosing, and the itching intensified for about 2-3 hours after taking each dose. It started and has been evident primarily in the torso, however I did have a few patches on areas of both of my upper thighs. I have just stopped taking it, as it is the 9th post-op day and will see if it subsides and how long. It did not dawn on me that this might be attributed to the medication, being summer and having mosquitoes around. Will see how long it takes to get back to normal.

I've been taking the medication for three weeks now, 500 mg (I think) twice a day. I've been suffering from a constant gurgling in my stomach, as if from a stomach virus. I'm also experiencing joint pain and some tingling in my fingers and hands, also some pain in toes/feet. Initially I suspected the joint pain could be the onset of arthritis, since it runs in my family. But then I remembered I've been taking this medication for quite a while now; I'm wondering if joint pain could be a side effect?
