I am a personal trainer and athelete.... I visited the doctor for the treatment of swollen lymp noids..I was prescribed a 10 day supply of 500mg of Levaquin..after taking this med for 3 days the tendon in my left leg and all throughout the joints had such severe pain I had never felt before...I could hardly walk without holding on to something for support..the pain was so excruciating I got up this morning(3a.m.) to research this drug and low and behold I came upon this site..amazing!! IF YOU EXERCISE REGULARLY,BE AWARE OF THIS DRUG!!! it will definitly cause joint problems..(P.S.) MY LYMP NOIDS FEEL BETTER THOUGH!!!

Just got back from the dr. She said it is definitly caused by Levaquin. The knee pain etc. is from this drug. She said it putme right over the edge after taking it for only one week. Hopefully it will subside. This is a powerful drug that attacks cartilage and joints and should not be used by people prone to arthritic conditions. Anyway, I feel better knowing I don"t have Lyme or anything more serious. GoodLuck to all of you out there, hang in there.Marsh
