This is what Drugs.com writes;
Levaquin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. This can happen during treatment or up to several months after you stop taking Levaquin. Tendon problems may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you take steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant.
I've taken large amounts of predisone the past two years for various skin problems, so I know it's a steroid. The one thing that stands out to me is they say tendon problems may be more likely if you're over 60 and take steroid medication. Seems like he shouldn't of prescribed that drug in combination with presdisone, a steroid.
