Suggest Treatment For Severe Muscle Weakness And Joints Pain
I took Levquin before having dental surgery four months ago and had a sever muscle weakness and joint pain. Family doctor prescribed Prednisone for nine weeks. Once off prednisone the muscle weakness and pain have returned. I can t take prednisone for another 6 weeks until the dental surgery is healed. What do I do for the muscle weakness and joint pain which is sometime so sever I can hardly get out of a chair or bed.

Hello,
Taking magnesium can relieve you from muscle cramps and pain. Also taking pain medications such as Advil or Naproxen for pain is advisable.
You may need to visit a rheumatologist and do some tests in order to find the disease which is causing it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
