Levaquin and ct scan

I have posted before. I am still having extreme pain in my joints, particularly my knees. Mobility has become very difficult, and this whole thing is getting really old.

Now I have been diagnosed with a 4.7 cm. mass in my right lung. I had started coughing about three weeks ago, which I attributed to the pneumonia for which I took Levaquin and Cipro in the first place. Then I started coughing up blood and my doctor has done a chest x-ray and a CT scan of my lungs. He says I have a tumor suspicious for cancer.

Now I'm wondering if anyone else's symptoms have progressed this way? If anyone, ANYONE, has had this happen to you, I really need to hear from you. I am feeling very scared right now, and in constant pain from the joint pain and now in my lung.

My email address is ******. Please put something about Levaquin in the subject line so I'll know it's a real email.

Thank you to everyone.

I was given Levaquin for 10 days for sinus infection on Feb 22, 2003. I couldn't sleep for those 10 days. Even now I still have trouble to sleep at night. I don't have touble sleeping before I take Levaquin. After 6 days of Levaquin feel a little pain on my back around kidney area. Since it was just little uncomfortable, I didn't pay much attention on it. And my sinus infection seems improved after 6 days. I finished 10 days Levaquin. I got severe back pain around kidney area after I finished 10 days Levaquin. I went to ER. They did blood test, X-ray, and ct-scan. Everything are normal except a tiny kidney stone. The ER doctor said the tiny kidney stone should not contribute to my severe back pain. But he cannot explain why I have such severe back pain. I don't have sinus infection now. I still feel mild back pain now. I feel tired and weak sometimes. It's good to find this website to explain why I had such severe back pain around kidney area.

Don't take Levaquin. There are other drugs we can take.
