Prostate infections symptoms and conditions

I have been prescribed with LEVAQUIN by my doctor to treat prostate infections. I took this medicine before, and did not notice any side effect until this time. In the past few days, I started having hard time to climb upstairs. My legs and muscles were just too weak to hold my body when I walk up and down stair, and my both hips are hurting very badly for no reason. Thank you all for the posts. You guys save my life. I am going to stop this antibiotic immediately. Hope I can get recover from this.

I posted a few months ago about the terrible side effects I had by taking Levaquin and Cipro on two different occasions for prostate infections. I have been off these antibiotics for almost a year now, and the good news is that I am almost back to normal. At one time I could barely walk, but now I can walk for 3 miles with no problems. I had gone to 9 different doctors and none of them had a clue that it was the antibiotics causing my problems. Luckily, I contacted a very intelligent medical resident at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta that immediately knew that I was having severe reactions to the Levaquin, and that Cipro had caused similar problems for me a few months earlier. A Pharmacist at Emory University also agreed that the antibiotics had terrible side effects for some people. After months, the pain has finally gone away.

I read where Senator Robert Byrd had been hospitalized for reactions to antibiotics he was taking for an urinary tract infection. I'll bet his doctors gave him Cipro or Levaquin. Has anyone heard what medications he was taking? Just Curious????
