I had a fever of 100+ degrees for 7 days and went in to the ER to see what was going on with my body. Anyway they said I must be getting over a virus and that they usually last about a week or so. On the 14th day of continual fevers I went to see my doctor as I was getting angry with not knowing what was wrong with me. Blood work was done and I was put on 750 mg of Levaquin for 7 days in the event I had a bacterial infection. My temps spiked to 104.1 and again I went to the ER and had more blood work done. On day 21 my fevers reduced and I had more blood work done. Apparently I had CMV a virus that 80% of the population has or had. Needless to say I have been off the Levaquin for a couple weeks now. I have pain in my right arm the entire length of my arm between the elbow and shoulder and if I extend my arm the wrong way the pain is so bad that I cannot breath and almost throw up. The pain is a true 10 out of 10 and I am beginning to feel soreness in my thighs. I will be contacting my doctor tomorrow morning as the pain will not go away as I was hoping it would. This is bad.

You sound like you are in the throes of a major reaction and please tell your doctors to at least ook at this web site. When I did they were amazed at what was happerning to the public and vowed to never prescribe this poison again. Its a start!Marsh

This sounds terrible, but I am so glad someone else had this elbow to shoulder pain, goes numb, hold my left arm up for more than a minute to dry my hair and get horrible paim twinges-never related it to all the Levaquin I had been on in the last 3 mths until researching for my husbands reactions-sore feet, hurts to walk, now can't move his finger and thumb-joint pain in elbows, back-and it moves around week to month....we need a cure!
