He was prescribed clindamycin for an infection, but it causes heavy nosebleeds. What other antibiotics can be used for this type of infection, and what other steps should be taken to address his symptoms?

I have severe pain in my neck and hands, rated at a ten on the pain scale. I take Lyrica for Fibromyalgia but it doesn't seem to help this pain. I also punctured my index finger on a rusty saw on Christmas eve, cleaned it, and applied an antibiotic and a bandage. There are no signs of infection. Should I be worried about tetanus, and what should I do about the pain?

I tried a .25 Fentanyl patch for chronic pain relief and it did nothing. The doctor increased it to .50, but I experienced extreme nausea, dizziness, and weakness, which lasted all day. Is there an in-between dosage that would work, and would these symptoms lessen over time? Are there any other pain patches that might work for my complex regional pain syndrome?
