Burning Pain In Upper Back. Taking Levaqui, Had Similar Pain Taking Levaquin After Surgery. Can I Take Tylenol?
I have been taking Levaquin for Bronchitis. Today I have a very uncomfortable burning pain in my upper back. It eases up a little bit with position change but is almost constant. I remember have a similar pain when I was on Levaquin after having surgery on my face and had to stay in the same position for a long time. I did do a lot of homework today and was in the same position for hours. I am a 54 year old female. Is it okay to take Tylenol?

Hello,
Fluoroquinolones like levaquin can cause tendinitis and tendon rupture in some individuals.Your upper back pain may be due to the tendinitis and so it should be stopped after consulting your doctor.
You may however take Tylenol for the pain.
Thanks
