I took 14 days of 750mg of levaquin for a tooth problem. After about 10 days I developed spontaneous swelling in the achilles area. This was much more severe in the left leg and it was very difficult to walk. Ice and elevation did not ease the pain and stiffness. The left leg was noticibly more swelled and red than the right. I went to the docotors and was sent to a specialist. Since by this time I had been off the Levaquin for about a week, it did not occur to me to tell him that I had taken the drug. He put me in a boot to prevent further damage and the leg is slightly better. I checked out the web to see what can cause the swelling of the tendon, without an injury and found all the discussion regarding Levaquin. Bingo! Obviously this is what caused my problem since I had not done anything to injure the tendon. It seems that this is now going to be a lifelong problem for me. Has anyone ever fully recovered from this problem?
