After taking 2 tablets of 500mg each my mom is down is severe pain all over her body! she has joint pains, neck pain, arms, palms shes got severe pai Wed, 10 Jun 2009 05:56:18 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42142?item=20491 Pain is one of the side effect of the drug.It does not occur for many people. There are some medications which increase the intensity of side effects too you can find them at http://www.internationaldrugmart.com/levaquin.html http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42142?item=20491 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:52:35 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42142?item=20529 So sorry to hear your Mom is suffering. Take her to another Doctor who is knowledgeable about the ADR's of Levaquin. They will be able to at least come up with a plan. My Doctor wants me to go on Medrol-Pak (Steroids) in a few days if pain and tiredness http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42142?item=20529 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 23:17:41 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42142?item=20592 I would try to keep your mom as comfortable as possible. My experience with taking just one 500mg tablet of Levaquin over three years ago has left me in constant joint pain, especially the shoulders and neck. Cortisone shots were only a short-lived fix.
