Common Questions and Answers about Will levaquin joint pain go away

levaquin

Avatar m tn Yes, before I became allergic to the stuff I did recall feeling quite a bit of joint pain with that class of medication. I used to take care of patients who were placed on levaquin for infection and noted that they would sometimes get what we nurses called "The Levaquin Shuffle". The affected patients would walk in a shuffle and complain of joint pain especially in the knees. In my case, yes, the pain did go away after a bit.
Avatar n tn I am wondering how long these side effects last and if there is any way to make them go away sooner. I am also having trouble sleeping now. I wish I knew this before taking this!!! This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/1244147'>levaquin side effects </a>.
Avatar f tn They switched my ab to Levaquin 250 for 7 days. No change in the infection, still had diarrhea, joint pain and back pain. AB was switched to Levaquin 500 for 10 days and I honestly felt GREAT!! 3 - 4 days all symptoms came back so they put on Levaquin 250 again. I had to give a stool sample and get a colonscopy - which came back negative. The stool sample showed no bacteria so I stopped the Levaquin as tinging came back. I have gone down hill since.
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 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 Lots of muscular, joint pain for nearly 10 months. My ligaments in my feet are so damaged. I have posterior tibial tendonitis. dry eyes, some dry mouth, rinign in left ear. I was a healthy 26 year old when I took the medicine. Actually I was exercising w/ a personal trainer the day I started the medicine. Life has never been the same. Please google Levaquin and you will see there are thousands of others just like you. Most doctors will refuse to even acknowledge the issue.
Avatar m tn Hello. My story is very different. I had unprotected sex for about 10 sec in Oct of 2008. I only inserted the (head of my penis only) into the vagina and the rest of intercourse was done with condom. (did not really have intercourse) Could not get an erection; therefore, condom was never inserted in vagina, only 10 sec. of penis head only. I have no open sores on the head of my penis. About three days later, I felt pain in groin. Went to hospital and Dr. said I had ureathitis.
Avatar n tn When did your brain fog go away?
Avatar n tn I have taken Cipro 500, Levofloxacin 2 different times and I still have this enterococcus bacteria. It will not go away. I believe that this infection all goes back to the sex I had in March with dirty hands. I haven't done anything since that time to reinfect myself. What are you thoughts on this? Is it possible that this infection will never go away? I am in pain everyday now for 5 months. Thanks so much for any insight that you can offer.
Avatar n tn I got hit at once diagnosed with both hsv-2 and prostatits. It started 2 months ago. Extreme irriation sensitive tip of penis, and burning. Got tested for stds and came back hsv-2. I then went on acyclovir for 2 weeks, pain still there. Went to urologist, said prostatits. Cipro for 2 weeks still in pain. Then switched to Levaquin for 10 days. While still on the cipro I began to feel mild muscle aches. After 4 days of Levaquin my muscle aches and joint pain increased.
Avatar m tn After a couple of days I started feeling pain in my upper chest, shoulder, down my right arm and right underarm. The pain feels like a needle is jabbing me. Sometimes the pain will go away and somtimes it is very bad and lasts for weeks at a time. I also have some musle pain in these areas. Can you please help me figure out what to do about this.
Avatar n tn This is very concerning to me now because this is symptomatic of heart att. He cant afford to go to the er and is hoping that the pain would go away but im scared and feel helpless cause he is so stubborn. He doesnt smoke cigarettes, only medical marijuana through a vaporizer but he has definitely been under alot of stress. He does not have high blood pressure or cholesterol.
1994720 tn?1352742233 Also, since the surgery and a sepsis infection that nearly took my life, I get severe nerve, tendon, and joint pain after eating primarily proteins and am exhausted all the time. I am sick of always being the mystery diagnosis patient! Also, my iron and ferritin levels have been on the low end, though I take Slow FE and cook with an iron skillet. And, my Alpha 2 and Beta globulins are low now. Any feedback???
Avatar f tn ve been on Levaquin twice. Ugh!!! I have severe joint pain and fatigue both times. I have a really high pain tolerance and was allergic to my other options at the time, so I toughed out the 10 days both times. I don't recommend that and my doctor has promised to figure out an alternative for future infections. The first time, the serious fatigue and joint pain lasted about 3 weeks total (including the 10 days). The second time it was about 5 weeks.
Avatar n tn It depends on where the joint pain is. Joint pain in the area of your ribs, chest or back might be normal if you are coughing a lot. Some medications can cause joint pain as well. Probably best to check in with your primary doc, they may want to check some blood work.
Avatar m tn s three people with joint pain. Or maybe the levaquin was in my body fluids and when me and wife have sex the levaquin got in my semen could be affecting her body also. Me and my wife have no fever or flu like symptoms. Need medical advice.
Avatar m tn (When the prednisonse was ineffective, he prescribed a non-quinolone antibiotic, the headaches went away a few days after). The prednisonse was a 21 day taper. Towards the end of the 21 days, my joint pain got much worse. The pain in my elbows, forearms, and shoulders intensified. Also, I started getting pain in both legs: in the achilles tendons, knees, and the hamstring tendons (along the back of my knees). At this point, I decided it was time to see an Orthopedist.
2109342 tn?1380908975 Hello, Ricobord The generic for Macrobid is Nutofurantoin Mono. It's a great antibiotic for many symptoms of Lyme. I saw something on TV about the Lyme Bullseye Rash, a few months ago. My rash was still showing, but almost gone. I went to my doctor right away and took a picture, of the same rash with me, that I found online. My doctor didn't care to see my rash, but did look at the picture. He sent me for a lab test right away.
Avatar f tn I have really bad arm pain, mostly in my right hand for the past eight years. I have been to the doctors several times and been told each time that they don't know what is wrong with me. I am going for a second opinion. The last ortho doctor I saw told me on the phone I had white spots on my bone which were nothing to worry about. During a visit two weeks later we looked at my MRI and they were black spots, to which he told me he didn't know what they were...!
Avatar m tn my 10 days would end on a sunday. so what should my decision be to go to them or not? They will probably send me to an Ear, Nose, and Throat (more time off work). My sinus infections go away by now and I have never needed more than augmentim. Note that the infection does respond to anti-biotics, but it did not totally go away after a month.
Avatar n tn Thank you so much for your input regarding Levaquin. I am sorry that you experienced six months worth of pain and suffering. I am glad that the effects do finally wear off. Believe me, my husband will never take this drug again. Again, thanks for taking the time to give me input.
Avatar f tn So yeah I know I post up a lot here and it's mostly because of my anxiety. Ever since those panic attacks I've had a few months ago I have not been the same. I don't feel like I have anxiety anymore I haven't had an attack in a while I'm just always constantly having muscle pain on my hands and feet or my hands fall asleep I get this rubber band feeling around my wrist and sometimes ankles.
Avatar n tn Levaquin has some terrible side effects besides tendon rupture. It was my own fault. I read about the side efects but I had a bad infection and insisted on that specific drug. My problems (muscle pain, tenderness, discomfort) lasted six months after I took the medication, but they did go away. Curiosly Cipro, which is of the same class of drugs, doesn't seem to cause any problems.
Avatar n tn If i work more than 8 hour or up for 8 hour , my leg starts hurting along with joint pain and nervousness and back pain. forgot I have high blood pressure now. what do i do. help please.
