What Causes Soreness In The Upper Arm After Taking Levaquin 500 Mg?

I have recently (10 days) been on 500 MG of levaquin for a severe UTI and respiratory infection. After taking it for that long my upper arm is so sore In the joint that I can barely lift it. I played golf while taking the medication and afterwards both arms were hurting in the joint bad.
