I am two pills away from finishing my prescribed dosage of Levaquin 500 mg/day for a terrible sinus infection and bronchitis. Both knees are killing me, and I thought I might have a torn rotator cuff over the last few days. I'm hoping these are all related to the med instead of me falling apart! Do they go away after you finish the antibiotic?

I am just a couple of days out from finishing my Levaquin as well. Within the first couple of days I thought I had something wrong with my rotator cuff (I had surgery on my other one a few years ago and it hurt just like that one did). My arm is still hurting. And, I feel like I'm 100 years old. Every joint, muscle in my body aches. Sometimes I don't know if I can get up. I have an appointment with my doctor on Tuesday and am going to tell him all of these side affects.

At least I didn't have the anxiety and bad dreams like some people had.

But, to make it worse, it has NOT taken care of the sinus infection that I have. My doctor thinks I may have an antibiotic resistant chronic sinus infection. He just tried the Levaquin as the last resort.
