Hello, I have just found out about this and have been on cipro and levaquin and guess what. 2 weeks ago i was jumping in a pool and the tendon in my arch let loose. I went to the orthopedic doctor and he sent me for MRI then put me in a boot cast. It felt like i stood on a golf ball and it still hurts like hell. I have problems walking on it still. My doctor stated that i will most likely be flat foooted now in the foot that the tendon let loose. then i seen this on the news. Damn i have never had problems in my foot. He called planter facititus.

It is important that your doctor knows that you had an adverse reaction to a floroquinoline drug.Also, please report this to the FDA on their website. It is the only way that we can get these drugs off the market and educate doctors as to their poisonous effects

I began taking Leviquin April 1,2008 for a sinus infection. I took a 14 day dose and suffered several side effects during that peiod. The first was a loss of sense of smell and loss of taste. The second was a really bad case of Plantar's Facitis. It is now July 26th and I still have no sense of taste or smell and still have the Plantars. When I quized the CVS clinic who prescribed this drug, they said there were no reported side affects. I beg to differ...........
Anyone else have these problems? susan@seengineering.com
