I have been on Levaquin over 6 times in the past 2 years for uppe...

Please do yourself (and everyone else) a favor by filling out a medwatch report. It is very simple and only takes a couple of minutes. You will find it here:

I just filled out one for my distal bicep tendon rupture. The incidents are grossly under-reported and we are all paying the price for it. BTW, I am a 47 yr old male and my bicep spontaneously ruptured after being off Levaquin for 8 months. I have always been in great shape and NEVER had any problems like this before. The muscle/tendon pain is still so intense that I question if I will ever return to my previous activities. God luck with your recovery and BE CAREFUL!

I'm so sorry for you. I've been affected by this poison as well. Go to www.fqvictims.org and www.fqresearch.org and you'll find some help and also some information that you can print out and give to your "intelligent" dr. I guess he can't read. Make sure your records are marked that you shouldn't be given any fluroquinolone again. This is a horrible adverse reaction to this drug. Good luck to you and now that you know what caused this, get a lawyer. These warnings were put out again in Sept-Oct. of 2004.
