I have been taking Levaquin for about 2 months now. I first started
it with high doses of the IV form through a pick line for
Osteomyelitis (Bone infection). I then went on pill form 500mg a
day. The whole reason I got Osteomyelitis in the first place is
because I have no feeling in my right foot and allot of Neurological
damage to my right side due to Spinal Bifida / and a Tethered Spinal
Cord which was released last year but I've only gotten worse since.
Anyway I just found out about all these bad side affects from
Levaquin and now I'm scared. About 2 weeks after starting the
medication I noticed pain my knees and especially in my fingers. The
pain is overwhelming at times. I'm not sleeping even with sleepaids.
Also the skin on the bottom of both my feet is peeling off in big
hunks. I think it Could be from the Levaquin? I'm also freaked out
because I've read that if you have been exposed, more than once, to
this drug or ones like it.... your chances of having permanent
damage is much greater. This is the 3rd time of taking high doses of
these meds. (2 months of Levaquin IV form 5 years ago, 2 months of
Cipro IV form, 3 years ago and now this time. I went to my Dr. 3
days ago and explained my symptoms to him. He kept leaving the room.
First time for 10 mins. 2nd time for over 30 mins. My husband was
with me and went to the bathroom while the Dr. Was out the 2nd time
and when my husband came back he said he past a conference room
where my Dr. And 3 other Dr.'s were there discussing my case. The
Dr. Finally came back in and said to stop taking the medication and
my symptoms would just go away. I haven't taken the drug in 3 days
and still have major pain and can't sleep. My feet look horrible! I
don't know what I should do now!! Please give and information you
have!!!

I took levaquin for 30 days for a bone infection in my toe as a result of an injury. I began to notice that I had joint pain in the morning when I first got out of bed. I thought it was strange, since I'd never experience that before. I then noticed that the pain continued all day long. I then started having trouble sleeping, had weird dreams when I did sleep, and starting feeling anxious. I read the side effects and found out that these are all side effects of levaquin. I was taken off the drug and after about two weeks the pain began to subside. I'm now experiencing some weird sensations in my arms and legs and wonder if this is somehow related to the Levaquin. Scary stuff.
