While this product worked for my bacterial infection I have been left with swelling in my right knee for a week after taking the medication for 12 days and a constant pain and relative swelling after completing the 14 days requirement my doctor prescribed. I am unable to stand or walk for long periods of time without my knee swelling and having stiffness and pain. I also received another medication flagyl to offset any yeast that the levaquin would have created.

Had emergency root canal, badly infected. I took levaquin for 4 days before calling the dentist requesting a different Rx. Muscle in legs and my knees still ache 3 weeks later. I would rather have the infection! Never again!!

Took one dose of Levaquin TAB(500mg) for diangnosis of Bronchitis. Woke up in middle of night with severe pain in right calf. Called PCP the next morning and was issued a different antibiotic. Ended up at PCP on 10/23/12 because of continued pain in calf. Had MRI on leg and was found that had a muscle strain and sent me to Orthopedic specialist. Gave me 6 weeks of PT and ask that I return after that if not completely cleared up. Since October things have only gotten worse. Muscle aches in feet, legs and arms. All previous activies have been effected. Cannot drive or walk anything but short distances. Was previously healthy, active and had no health issues. Now trying to do everyday chores, etc take three times as long and are painful. At first Advil or Aleve seemed to help dull the aches and pain and have tried heat therapy as well. It is near impossible to sleep at night...cannot get comfortable to rest and fall asleep and now I wake up every night and takes me an hour to an hour and a half to fall back asleep. This medication is EVIL and should be taken off the market. I have told everyone I know to NEVER take this or any form of this mediacation. Always wondering if the damage caused by Leviquin is permament. My quality of like is gone! Always tired and in pain. Always wondering if one of my tendons is going to pop. My husband and I used to walk, garden,do yard work, bike ride, and I used to use my treadmill. I can no longer to these activities. NEVER NEVER take this medication!
