Levaquin and tendons

Sorry, I thought I was asking the following question: About 2 months ago I was on a 7 day presc for Levaquin. I started having pain in outside of right foot whenever I stood on it. To the point that I had to use my walker again (had knee replacement surgery Oct29,09). Is it possible the Levaquin has caused this tendon problem. It is in the outside of my rt ankle & very painful to walk on. Thanks |

HI Barb, Levaquin has been associated with rupture of tendons. With pain symptoms only, there are many potential causes of that from trauma to strain. When pain persists for more than a few weeks, an orthopedic consultation is in order. |
