Full story: San Gabriel Valley Tribune

Dear Dr. Gott: I recently heard a statement on television made by an attorney with regard to Levaquin, causing tendon rupture and asking anyone who suffered with the problem to call a toll-free telephone number.

I had pneumonia and empyemia about 2 years ago, had to have surgery and had lots in the hospital and one bottle when I left. Since that time when I climb stairs or kneel down I have such foot cramps, and they will last days, at nights sometimes I have to sleep in the chair with my shoes on as taking them off start the cramping again. I also get cramps in my hands that sort of does the old Star Trek Valkin thing very often as well for no good reason at all.
Could this be from the use of leviquin ?
Never had this problem until after surgery and I thought maybe just out of shape but no amount of exercise or time seems to help.

Had double pn and after 5 antibiotics they gave lev. Woke up and can't use finger, hands and wrists ache. It's pain non stop. Can't type. Lock up. Swelling is instant! My RN wrote it all down as she saw me use it as I gripped on to walker. The pams of hands and even finger tips hurt so bad using iPhone or cell is painful even on pain meds. I has pain prior but as far as this type of non use, and all day all night it's not just aging joints. RN called me about Lev. Anyone know who is studying this or lawsuits filed? I even disconnected Internet since I can't use it. Not worth the suffering.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aquarius

The emotional atmosphere is quite potent under this Lunar Eclipse, evoking a sense of crisis. The problems you've been experiencing with a certain person lately come to a head during the next fortnight, making you feel that you have to take drastic action or lay down the law. Yet this could make the situation worse than ever, especially if you act from a sense of panic or desperation. Take things gently and don't throw your weight around unless it's absolutely necessary.
