I have been fighting a sinus infection for over two years now. Two surgeries for my sinuses so far, and every time I see the Doctor, I get the Levaquin every time, 750MG for 14 days. I have another sinus surgery in another state, with a specialist, I hope, better than my last ENT. But my left shoulder froze up and my right one is trying to freeze up. I am headed in Friday to get the Ortho to put me to sleep and twist my arm around and shoot it with cortizone, and I am hoping my shoulder will be ok then in another week, I head out to get another sinus operation. I was a very active, healthy mid 40's female. Now I can't seem to function. But I just stumbled onto this sight, and I am sure I am going to have to take another anti biotic. Any suggestions on which one? I will never take this Levaquin again. This is all to coincidental for all of us to have similar side effects. I had very bad headaches as well, but blamed the sinuses.

Oh my gosh! I had a bi-lateral sinus infection for months, went on Leviquan also 750 mg. for 10 days. I still have stuff dripping, my chest feels tight when I try to take a deep breathe and over a year ago now that I think about it my right shoulder froze. As we speak now I am back on Celebrex and my right shoulder is hurting again...don't ever want it to freeze again I am really afraid. Also I have been feeling very stiff in my calves especially in the morning. Could this be the effects of the Leviquan?????

I had a sinus infection for months that eventually went into strep, I took Leviquan for 10 days 750 mg. still had the post nasal drip and now I feel a tightness when I try to take a deep breathe. Also I stopped taking my Celebrex for 10 days when taking the Leviquen and now my right shoulder feels like it could freeze again. This happened over a year ago and I think I was taking the same medication then. Is this possibly the medication?????
