I took Levaquin (500mg) for 10 days for a sinus infection with a nasty cough. (non smoker) My heels began to hurt as did my right shoulder at day 4. I had strange transient pains in my right index finger at day 6. It took two weeks AFTER the last dose before my joint pains abated. This antibiotic was very effective against my sinus infection. I read about the possible side effects and I avoided exercise during the course of this drug. All, in all. I am happy with the results. I am so glad to be rid of my sinus infection. It was worth the transient side effects (joint pain). Any drug has side effects. This illustrates how important it is for people to be responsible for their own health and to insist on complete information from both thier doctors and their pharmacists. Be well. TP Lathrop
