Hi,
Tendon breakdown can be demonstrated on physical exam and confirmed with MRI. This is strongly associated with fluoroquinolones.
I think it is a stretch to associate one chemical with absolutely every possible side effect. If nerves are injured that will show on nerve conduction studies.
Most people with aches or tingles do not have demonstrable nerve problems. They don't get into the brain much so, brain effects are not associated with them. Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, a serious problem would have visible effects and studies would show a problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
