Levaquin adverse side affects

[Guest guest]

OH mY Gddd! I knew it. It was after I took Levaquin for a respiratory infection

that my tendon problems began.

First one Achilles tendon and now the other; terrible pain there and the tendons

behind my knees freeze up.

I am so angry. My doctor pooh-poohed me and said that it caused tendon ruptures

and I just need physical therapy and stretching. I love to walk and now I

shuffle and limp and hobble. OF all the!

I am so sorry for your tendinitis. I know how debilitating it is. Thank you

Donpat for mentioning it.

Sometimes I think there should be a limit to bad luck, like we each get three

tickets. When the three bad things have afflicted us, that's it, clear sailing,

and other people can deal with their three. It never ends and, at this moment, I

am f'ng tired of trying to deal with it and tired of putting on a brave face.

Argghhh!
