Common Questions and Answers about Levaquin and nerve damage

levaquin

Avatar n tn It's been a year and a half since my exposure, which involved a insertive oral, the girl had bloody mouth. I've had dysuria, urethritis for a year and a half. Had taken levaquin, cipro, doxycycline, azythromycin, and cef. None worked. Could I have gotten genito-urinary tuberculosis, or tuberculosis urethritis from a bloody blowjob?
Avatar m tn I was on levaquin a couple years ago, it made me very sick to my stomach and gave me some joint pain. I didn't realize until after I took it that it can damage tendons and I read it can also cause hernias. I would never take it again. That's just my opinion, I would also ask for something else.
Avatar m tn After three weeks, he developed stomach aches and pains and the doctor told him to stop. Unfortunately he also developed the types of pains and muscle weakness you are describing. This was in January and it has been a year without it going away. Cipro is a VERY powerful antibiotic and there are boards on the internet that have many people complaining about their "Cipro poisoning". He had been on Cipro in the past for no more than 7 to 10 days with no side effects.
Avatar f tn Ok, Here goes...I pray someone can help me figure this out ! Here are my symptoms...very weak abdominal muscles, extreme lower back pain and muscles feel as though they are being ripped off my hips...worse on left..also left hip feels like there is a knife deep inside the hip joint. Slight scoliosis out of nowhere...I think if abdominal muscles are weak, it will pull hip & back muscles, but not sure, sinse scoliosis is a factor as well ( I don't know what the curve degree is).
1994720 tn?1352742233 I just wanted to update that the tendon issues and every other weird symptom under the sun is from fluoroquinolone toxicity from Levaquin. I was given IV Levaquin and steroids for my bout with sepsis and this is the result. I still have tendon issues, horrible neuropathy, and met several others with consistently high b12 and other b vitamin levels with FQ toxicity.
Avatar m tn I took mass amounts of cipro and levaquin. I have all over the body stinging for 3 years, heart pounding, terrors, I feel I am going to rip my skin off.. I feel so altered.. I also have tiny crystals all over my hands like glitter.. morgellans? If anyone has the all over the body stinging which feels like you are in a bag of hornets. heart pounding and terrors please write me..I am only hanging on by a thread.
Avatar m tn Have severe joint pain in both knees and shoulders. Hurts to walk, and cannot move my arms above my head. Stopped taking Levaquin on Monday and is now Wednesay and pain is still unbelievable. Does anyone know how long the pain will last and is there any way to get the pain to go away sooner? My doctor said I should feel better in a couple of days.
1373852 tn?1307843048 I was really sick last year.I was on over 20 different meds in the icu some of them were floraquinilone antibiotics and corticosteroids.I was paralyzed from the induced coma meds but now I can move fully partly I guess because of ivig therapy. My question is could all those meds cause something to be damaged in my foot like the ligaments and tendons?I have novacaine like numbness and it feels like I have a swollen nerve at my ankle mostly after walking alot.I have left side muscle twitches too.
Avatar f tn You need to write a letter and send it certified mail. Pain in the joints and elsewhere are common side effects of Levaquin. Most times this wears off (the good news), but there are instances of long-term damage from this particular antibiotic (that's the bad news). Statistics are on your side.
Avatar f tn Hi. I have been experiencing some really disturbing set of symptoms. I was a healthy and happy 22 year old and now feel almost crippled. I have peripheral neurpathy, horrible anxiety, deppression, nausea, weight loss. I took Levaquin for a UTI infection in November 2009 and didn't have symptoms then. I also had a susequent yeast infection. Do anybody have any idea what could be causing thIs? Thank you and God Bless.
798555 tn?1292787551 The FDA announced on August 15, 2013, that fluoroquinolone drugs such as Levaquin, Cipro and Avelox will be required to change packaging inserts to contain a warning for severe, permanent and disabling peripheral neuropathy. The FDA states that the damage may occur very soon into the administration of the drugs and the damage may be permanent.
1373852 tn?1307843048 Both drugs are of a class called flouroquinolones, and both have been linked to damage to the tendons and pain in the muscles. Levaquin mostly. For some reason Cipro doesn't seem to be much of a problem. Levaquin is associated wih long-term muscular aches and pains.
Avatar m tn its started after i gt acid reflux. and i also got high blood cholestrol. my BP and diabetic is normal and most of the time i worried about my health and cant relax. i already do a anxiety test in online and the result come around 80% and its prove that i got anxiety , is this caused by anxiety or something else??
Avatar m tn It is almost like a numb like feeling maybe a slight tingling. ...but it comes and goes. Could I have caused nerve damage to the area? and if so would the pain come and go as it seems to be doing on a daily basis. Sometimes it appears to get red and others it just looks like the rest of my skin. I also noticed on both corners of my mouth I have what appears to be angular chelitis.... this has been present for about 10 weeks.
1776001 tn?1315065510 Healing would depend on the type and severity of nerve injury and the nerve(s) involved. A nerve conduction study (NCS) may be able to give a rough idea of the injury and the healing. It would be best to discuss this in detail with your neurologist/ orthopedician. Meanwhile you may benefit from medications that help in relieving neuropathic pain. Hope this helps. Take care!

Avatar f tn if one has nerve damage in the retina....will this eventually clear and and go away?
Avatar f tn This is a common complaint that is often attributed to nerves regenerating over time. Unfortunately, due to invasive surgery, tissue and nerve damage and especially if you had radiation therapy the discomfort could last for a long period of time. If your pain is constant I think you should be seen in a Pain Center, because there are definitely treatments for it.
