Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
on October 14, after being on a trip, I returned home feeling terrible and with a fever of 101 - very bad chest congestion. I went to urgent care and was told I had bronchitis and was given levofloxacin - one tablet a day for ten days. During that time, I developed pain in both arms from shoulder to elbow, much like what I would think tendonitis would feel like...........also muscle weakness in my legs. I thought it might be due to the fever and the bronchitis. I took the last antibiotic five days ago but my symptoms continue. I went on line and found my symptoms could have been caused by the drug. Can I expect to improve as time passes? I had planned to phone my orthopedist on Monday since he did a knee replacement for me in February because I am also having a lot of joint pain in my knees.
