I was given Avelox repeatedly for about a 4 month period for sinuses. Ended up having surgery to correct sinus issue. Four months after I have chronic back and rib pain, light headedness, itch skin, burning skin, sore leg muscles the list goes on. After a lot of testing nothing can be found wrong. Is it possible I'm just now seeing the effects of this drug?

I took one pill on April 19th - the next day I noticed that it felt like someone was stretching a giant rubberband accross my back. I stopped taking it and felt ok, not great, but okay until May 18th when my muscles and tendons started to ache/hurt. I also noticed that my vision is not as good as it used to be and things that I pick-up seam heavier. I feel like a wreck. I also have anxiety due to this, not sure if it is directly from the med or not. Also, I am urinating very frequently - which is very strange for me. I find that if I eat a lot of protein it helps the fatigue and muscle pains. This is driving me crazy - I was almost crying today at work. Let me know how you are doing I want to know how long it lasts too. Some of these people seem to have long-term symptoms. I truly hope that you are feeling better.
