I have a seve4e bronchial infection and was prescribed Levaquin 750 mg once a day for 5 days. Tomorrow will be my fifth day although I will not be taking it. When I started the medication I was beginning to feel better although I still had a really bad cough. I was also put on an inhaler. I woke up today and felt like I have been hit with a truck. I can't hold anything in my hands, my kneew and ankles feel like someone took a bat to them and I have spent all day trying to figure out why I felt worse overall and now why I was feeling this horrible pain that is practially crimpling me. I found this site when I googled "sever bronchial infection and joint pain". I'm calling my dr tomorrow but I'm scared. Will this be permanent. I already have 2 herniated discs in my back and now I can't even walk or get up from a seated position. I have a 1 year old I cannot even hold and have ot have someone help me take care of. I hope this goes away and soon. The pain is close to unbearable.

As long as you stopped, this will go away but not for sometime. The pain in your knees is excruiating I bet? Yes, it will take hold of you and make you feel like you have bone cancer or something! I swear this stuff is deadly. Its been over two months and I"m just getting back to normal although I took it for two weeks so maybe you will be luckier. GoodLuck!Marsh

I took Levaquin last week for pneumonia and had also been put on an inhaler. I have been suffering SOOO much more, be prepared for the worst. I found another site where the following are being experienced by others like us: foggy headed, loss of concentration, head shakes, joint paint, severe SEVERE fatigue, heartburn, acid refulix, feeling of lump in throat (choking sensation), metallic taste in mouth, change in taste, severe headaches, night sweats, hot flashes, severe insomnia, terrifying nightmares, hallucinations, ringing in the ears, loss of strength and endurance, anxiety, increased blood pressure, dizziness, left arm and shoulder pain. Scroll down to the Levaquin category - I too found this out by googling, fqframes.org/fqframes/stories/area.htm I've been terrified of what's happening to my body as I have a 3 months old daughter and can't take care of her any longer by myself! Good luck, my prayers are with you - because all of the doctors I've seen thus far treat me like I'm crazy.
