It's been almost 1 1/2 years since I have taken Levaquin for Bronchitis. I took it for only 3 days, after that I couldn't stand the pain and that was the only thing different so I knew it must have been the Levaquin. I suffered major, severe joint and muscle pain. I couldn't even walk down the stairs to the living room. As for lasting side effects, I am dealing with arthritis in my knees...which I never had before and I am only 40. I have severe tendinitis in my elbow which may require to correct. I know I am getting older but jeez....I am unsure if the arthritis and tendinitis is completely related to my reaction to the Levaquin, but what else could it be. I am not that old nor am I that out of shape. My only hope to spread the word about this evil toxic poison before someone else gets hurt.

You sang my song my friend and I am sorry that you did...I am 3 years on Feb 6th and am 43 yrs old....today is a BAD day...bad night last night, hips and legs and achilles tendons flaring. Still have a full time job to do, and in this economy, do it VERY well, all while hobbling around waiting for the pain killers to take effect so I can move and get the job done! What I wouldn't give for a jacuzzi right now! It's the same every day to one extent or another...some days worse than others..this has been a bad week and I have not done anything to make it any worse than usual. It is just the game I get to play everyday. I look at it this way...I can still get myself out of bed, albeit painfully, but at least by myself!! I have a good job that I love, I can go to the grocery store by myself and take care of my family, just with pain that is always there, but I CAN DO IT! I take food to people twice a month for Meals on Wheels and am thankful for each day that I get to do things for myslef and my beautiful family. Stay strong, don't let it win, keep on keepin on and remember that you are not alone! Feel free to email me anytime! Liz
