I started taking Levaquin for 14 days for a culture they did of my nose which indicated a bacteria. After taking for eight days, I began shuffling my feet and could hardly walk. At work I walked very slow, which is not normal for me and I could not bend down. My kees and ankles hurt so bad I could hardly stand it. I asked the nurse about it when I went in for my allergy shot, as I thought it was the shot. She said no it was not the shot but the antiobiotic. I ignored the fact as I had never heard of that happening and the side effects weren't listed from the pharmacy receipt. I took Ascription and Ultram at the same time it hurt so bad. I still have infection and called the Dr's office again and they gave me the same thing. When I went to pick it up, I asked to talk to the pharmacist and told him about the side effects I experience and he said they don't give the medication to anyone under 18 years of age because of tendon and ligament damage. He told me to take it easy while I am on it. I've decided I'm not taking it. I'll have to risk my infection.
