Urinary Tract Infection
"Received Rocephin injection in left hip for urinary tract infection. The injection itself was not any worse than any other I&#039;ve received, but as the medicine starts making its way into the body it becomes very uncomfortable. It feels very bruised and knotty at the injection site. However, I know this medicine works very well for this condition as I&#039;ve had this twice previously, otherwise I would not put myself through the discomfort. It is only painful from about 2-3 minutes following the injection up to about 30 minutes following when the pain wears down to barely noticeable except when the area is touched.  Its highly worth the brief pain and discomfort.  I always feel much better within 24 hours following the shot."
