I went into the hospital to treat a staph infection after orthoscopy surgery of the right knee. That was 4/30/03. The doctor treated me with vencomiacin for 10 days then switched me to levaquin. Three 4 weeks later I have joint problems in BOTH my knees- excruciating pain- over the last 2 weeks. I left the hospital with a cain and now I am using a walker ! I hurt so much sometimes I just want to cry - I keep thinking maybe I need a wheel chair. 3 days ago I discovered olive leaf extract & rosemary from my chiropractor. It has taken a lot of the sharpness of the pain away. My physician has not been sympathetic - says I just have arthritis. I'm 50 years old and had no problems with my left knee at all before this medication. Thanks everyone for your posting of symptoms, now I'm sure this is one more of the side effects. I'm going the herb/homepathic route now...
