I went to my family dr on Friday March 24, 2006 complaining of a bad sinus infection. I was given samples of Levaquin 750 mg to take, and was sent for a sinus x-ray. On Tuesday March 28, I received a call from my dr's office saying I have a very severe sinus infection and to continue taking the Levaquin 750mg for a total of 30 days. I went to his office and picked up more samples. Last night, March 31, my knees were a little sore. I thought maybe I climbed the staircase one too many times yesterday....total of about 5 flights of stairs. Today April 1, I can barely walk without pain. My knees are so stiff and sore. I feel as if I am going to fall over if I just get out of bed and try to walk. I have to get my balance before I move. I have propoxy pain pills I received from my dr last week which I am taking but it doesn't seem to help too much. I think Tylenol for Arthritis is working better for me. I remember having this exact pain once before and after checking my precription history I found I had taken Levaquin the last time that I had such knee pain. I have no doubt that the pain is caused by the Levaquin. Since all my pills were given to me by the dr and not through a precription, I had no list of side effect to check. I definitely will be contacting my dr on Monday morning.
