yes i took Levaquin 5 pack for sinus infection. after the last dose i noticed i had severe pain in my left leg and hip.. i couldnt understand what i had done to cause this pain. it has been 3 weeks now and the pain is so bad in my left leg and knee i about cry all the time. i went to the er and had a x-ray and ultra sound done on my left leg and knee. they found nothing. doctor said it was likely arthritis.. i told him about the Levaquin. he just dismissed my concerns... i know it is from this medicine. I'm scared this pain will never go away..

Please file a medwatch report. You can do this on the FDA website. It is so important that you file. I am very sorry that your Dr refuses to acknowledge that levaquin did this to you! You are not alone as you can see from all of us that have posted here. Be very careful about taking any non-steroidal anti-inflamatory meds right now as they can worsen the effects. Research and educate your self and above all DO NOT lose hope. Take care!

Hang in there and remember we have all been through this. The pain will most likely subside after a couple of months!Yes it does take that long for this -hit to get out of your system! Be brave and remember we are rooting for ya!!!Marsh
