3 weeks before my wedding I started Levaquin for the second year in a row for a sinus infection. Last year the sinus infection was so bad I was in bed with face pain, so any other pain I had didn't register, so if I had the joint pain I wouldn't have noticed. But this year I got such bad knee pain I couldn't even stand up. Who knew it could be associated with the antibiotic I was taking. I was barely able to walk down the aisle. That was one month ago, I still have knee pain, can not stand up from a kneel. I was not told about this side effect until I saw the Dr. last week for a follow up. The pain is in my elbows also, limited movement there. Depressing.

Oh my God,that is exactly what happened to me. My knees were hurting so much that I could hardly walk, drive anything. I"ts been over 2 months since my last dose and my knees are finally gettingt normal. I was so active before and now can"t even bend my knees to pick up something off the floor Hope you stop this, at least you are smart enough to and good luck!!!Marsh
