I was prescribed 20 days of Levaquin 500mg for a post surgery leg infection. I quit taking Levaquin after just 6 days. I had horrible hip and joint pain, depression and fatigue. I wanted to sleep all day and night. It worked and the infection was cleared up but the side effects were not worth it.

How is your joint pain now? Has it gotten any better?

Was prescribed 500mg Levaquin for ear infection and sinus infection for 6 days. Everything seemed fine until the last day of the medicine. My body broke down,i think. I had severe liver pains and my joints hurt so bad.I had a cramp in my leg and could not walk for days. The pain was so bad.My children were scared. It has been three weeks now,and I have to go to a kidney specialist because the pain in my kidney is so bad. I know it was the Levaqin. I never had anything like this before.Still have muscle and joint pain that will not go away. I am pretty worried. Cannot eat anything with this pain in my kidney.It reacts to certain foods.
