I have been prescribed antibiotics frequently by doctors. I frequently have infections related to bacterial infections and have noticed something strange slowly occurring.
It started in my right leg then the left knee. I can't straighten either leg. Tingling and then it felt like a ball under my skin. My hands are showing hard clumps. Two PCPs have told me it is my tendons.
Pain numbness the curling up of tendons are the symptoms.
Is this from the heavy use of antibiotics?

Hello, Connie! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the problems that you're having.

Usually, what some antibiotics cause as a side effect are tendon ruptures.

What did your doctors say have caused your issue? What treatment options have they offered?
