Avatar m tn Got retested a month after, chlamydia tested positive again. They prescribed me Levofloxacin for 7 days, 1 pill a day, of which i took the last pill monday. Today we are wednesday. Now one of the symptoms i was having was a slight sticky clear discharge at the tip of my penis. This symptom was not present during the whole 7 days i took the levofloxacin. But now 2 days after i took that last pill, that symptom is present again.
Avatar m tn So I went back to my dr yesterday due to my glands continuing to ache and now my testicles seem to be aching along with tightness and discomfort in my lower back. My testicles are also much more sensitive. He prescribed levofloxacin in case of infection. Does this sound like it could be an STD? Is levofloxacin regularly prescribed for STD infections? Thanks!

Sure enough, the infection cleared up, but my joints ached so bad I could not raise my arms to take a shower, put my clothes on, bend to tie my shoes, get in and out of a car quickly. Strength training and jogging was out of the question for a month.
