Can levoxa cause pain in the joints and muscles, e.g. knees permanently? Apparently, there may be permanent side effects. I have to take 4 weeks, and I recently had a lot of knee pain without injury. I am a young, active person.

Yes, muscle and joint pain may occur when using Levoxy. These adverse reactions have been reported uncommonly (≥1/1,000,
Are these pains gone for you? How long did it last? After the 4th table my leg started to hurt a lot, and I still have these pains, it doesn't hurt the same every day but it hurts more and less often. I took Prednisone for 5 days, it got a little better, but soon the pains returned. Will they ever pass.??? How much longer? I took the last 4th tablet on May 24. Then I stopped and the doctor prescribed Prednisone for 5 days Last pill on June 2nd. Will😢 this ever subside? I don't have patience anymore! I will add that I am a person over 60, I am active, I am not overweight, I am not a😉 couch potato. I was reluctant to take this antibiotic, the doctor told me not to worry in advance and please. Then he said "I'm sorry" and I was in pain, just not for the rest of my life.

To @Meluzyna:
This is not a typical side effect of the antibiotic Levoxa. These symptoms may be a complication of a bacterial or viral disease.
In order to diagnose the cause of the problem, you should consult a doctor.
If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
After 4 days, my mother started to have problems with cooling, her legs were very swollen, there was a large swollen tuber above her ankle. She put down the antibiotic. The doctor examined and ordered tests. He is now receiving medication for thrombosis. Could anxiety have triggered this process?
Hi Guys, after the first day I experienced slight pains and strains in my knees, after the second day of taking the medicine the pain intensified significantly so the doctor told me to stop taking the drug!
According to the leaflet, if you experience these symptoms, stop treatment immediately!
Hopefully the symptoms will pass.....
Hi, I recently had to take levofloxacin for 2 weeks and since the last intake my left knee hurts without any external influence.
How about you?
