I am a 34 yo healthy woman that was prescribed Levaquin for Bacterial Abscess. First a 10 day supply, then the abscess reoccurred so I requested a second 10 day supply. I then had a surgery to resolve recurrent abscess within the second day course. I did not have any reaction until my second post op night when I thought I fell asleep with my arms "tucked in" or"under". The thought was not unlikely as I was also on oxycodone 2q4hrs. At any rate surgery over, off abx now 4 days arms still feel tight and sore. Hands feel 15 times the normal size yet my rings still fit. My leg muscles feel hard but not unmanageable yet. I kept thinking that it was from being sedentary, I am the type who falls asleep when I finally stop moving. I wake at 5 and literally lay down to sleep at 11 or so brief periods of stting. I thought my muscles hurt from inactivity, but that did not explain the joint discomfort. I have had no change for better or worse although it has only been 4 days. I find that working on the "stiffness" helps with the discomfort but when waking it is very uncomfortable. stiffness,joint pain ,muscle tenderness,depression,neck pain.
