I did not think I had an adverse effect from Levaquin until I read that it can cause tendon ruptures. I had a year long experience including extensive surgery from a torn tibialis tendon. I did not take Levaquin unitil I had a slight tear that resulted in a full rupture, tendon transplant, heel breaking and arch rebuilding. I had taken Levaquin after I was put in cast to try to heal my tendon, which never happened. Could Levaquin have had something to do with this. My problem with my foot happened in 12/06 and my first dose was during the month of January 2007. After I had recouped in November of 07 I also took levaquin in March of 08. Please let em know if this could have had an adverse effect on my situation and what I could do about this.
