I am 35, was in good health, ate right etc. In October of 04, I took levaquin for a bacterial infection that had caused swollen lymph nodes. The infection returned and I was given another round of levaquin after Thankgiving. Around the holiday season, my feet and legs starting hurting (feet hurt, leg muscles ached), left wrist and fingers started hurting, and recently my knees and thigh muscles have begun to hurt. I have been to several doctors, including an infectious disease doctor who ran scores of tests (everything came back negative). He is treating me for TB even though the tests came back negative (a biopsied lymph node indicated an infection). He thinks it is a mycobacterial infection. When I can across this site about levaquin, it was like an epiphany - some here decribed my symptoms to a T. I called my doctor but he said these symptoms were not from levaquin. He wants to put me in steroids for a week to see if that helps the pain. I am able to go to work and function, but running and moving around pain free are not options now. I am ready to return to normal. Anyone have suggestions for these symptoms? How long does it take for these effects to dissipate? If the pain would go away, I'd be back to normal. This has been going on for a few months now, but I haven't taken levaquin in 1.5 months. Help! Rob ******
