Macrobid affected my muscles?

I’m 28 female currently on no medication, I got a uti the other week and was prescribed Macrobid 100mg, I took it for three days 1 in the morning 1 in the evening but I had such a bad reaction it made me so unwell I couldn’t take it anymore (stopped taking it the evening of the 1st of August), ended up going back to the doctors who told me I was fine to not take it anymore, I didn’t eat for four days and was throwing up whilst taking the medication so I was exhausted, going up the stairs made my muscles in my thighs burn it was awful but all last week I worked up building my energy back and thankfully at least eating and drinking and my energy is fine again, but I’ve noticed that my right knee was tingly a lot, and then suddenly I had a numb ish sensation in the area that didn’t go away (and still hasn’t I am still getting tingly too not always but quite often throughout the day) both of my legs my calf’s my thighs are so sore like I’ve done a hard workout when I’ve not even done anything at all, I’m really worried it’s damaged nerves in my legs? The pain started roughly Sunday and ever since it’s just getting more uncomfortable whenever I try to walk especially if I haven’t moved for a while it’s like they’re so stiff and sore, going downstairs hurts so much and I’m really worried, could macrobid have caused this? Did it damage my muscles or my nerves or something? Again I only have a tiny numb patch and tingle in one of my knees but both legs hurt even poking them the muscles sore and I’m starting to feel like the areas near my shoulders are hurting I’m getting stressed that it’s from the medication please help

Macrobid making me vomit really bad

Started taking them Tuesday evening for uti didn’t feel great on them at all and each day I’ve felt worse been unable to eat hardly drink etc and today since this evening I’ve vomited 4 times I’m at a loss as one of them was within half an hour of the last time I’m scared to stop taking them as I can’t get to a doctors until Tuesday because it’s a bank holiday this week and I’m scared in that time it will make the uti return and be worse I already have really bad health anxiety this is my third day of taking them 1 in the morning 1 at night and I feel so defeated and scared
