What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Hand While On Levaquin?

I took Lavaquin over nine months ago. The day after starting it I couldn t walk due to the pain in my tendons; the Doctor didn t know what was wrong and neither did the emergency room so no one made the connection between the drug and my problem and I continued to take it for the full ten days. I still have lots of problems going up and down stairs but it is much better than it once was. Now however, I have started experiencing numbness and tingling in the my right hand and fingers. Could this still be from the lavaquin?

Hello,

It is not related to Levaquin.

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated, We have to rule out possible causes like peripheral neuropathy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
