I took levaquin for 2 weeks to treat a infection, i am 26 years o...

DO NOT take any kind of non-steroidal antinflamatory medications for at least a couple of months as this worsened my conditon. At 40 yrs old I was helathy and active, strong and physically fit, took Levaquin for 6 days and had all this muscle & joint pain. Dr told me to take Naproxen and here I am 2 1/2 yrs later still hobbling around like a 90 yr old...daily pain in achilles tendons and most of the joints and tendons in my body...like having constant tendonitis everywhere! Made my infection go away too....but at this price??? Wish I had known ANYTHING about this drug before I just popped into my mouth cuz my dr said to....take care and educate yourself about what might be down the road for you. Good luck!

I also took it for a bacterial infection & have severe muscle & bone aching! It has been a month now & I still feel this way. Any thoughts? What did your dr. say?

I took levaquin for ten days when the muscle pain in my calves started, making it difficult to walk. It's been three weeks since my doctor told me to stop taking the drug but the muscle pain has not gotten any better. I'm very concerned.
