Hands And Feet
UpdatedI was prescribed Levaquin by my primary care doctor for bronchitis.
My feet started hurting within the first day, the tendons on the top of my feet, from my ankles to my toes.
Four days later, they had been hurting nonstop, I went to get a free orthopedic screening, at the rehab in my health club. They said my pain was probably due to tendon pain caused by my high arches, high domes on my feet, and my shoes. They recommended icing my feet, massage and ibuprofen.
Meanwhile I continued my antibiotic not connecting it, at all.
A couple days later one thumb, then the other started hurting. I knew this wasn't my shoes. Then a few days later, my head started hurting pretty badly, that is off and on.
When I did a search on the internet for 'tendonitis feet, hands, headache', that's when I connected it to levaquin.
I made an appointment with my doctor.
Now I'm getting physical therapy. Basically, they just tell me to ice it, they offer massage and tell me they haven't dealt with this before. They made braces to restrict movement of my thumbs.
The pain is terrible, especially at the end of the day.
