problems after taking antibiotic 'Levaquin'
I had an out of state visitor catch something horrible on the shuttle bus on July 3. There was a couple on the bus with her, coughing horribly, and they stated they were on a cruise and the entire ship got sick. My visitor ended up getting this, and the day she left I got it also. Long story shortened, I took the antibiotic 'Levaquin' and also prednisone. The second day, I noticed my shoulder was extremely painful, but thought it was from tossing and turning in bed. On day 4, I had problems even moving my shoulder. Stopped the pills, called DR. and he said to stop taking them. Did lots of research and discovered this is a side effect of this antibiotic....tendinitis, torn tendons, etc. A week later and my shoulder is not better. I am looking for anyone that has experienced this, and hoping they have some suggestions on how to help my shoulder pain. I have been taking Aleve, and pain patches but no help. Has anyone out there experienced the side effects of this drug? Google it, it is a nightmare drug!!!
Thanks in advance. Rose
