Tendon problems

Has anyone experienced any problems with their tendons as a result of iron overload and/or the use of Exjade? John ruptured his quad tendon back in September and then about a month later another on his middle finger. The finger is minor but it makes me wonder if there's any connection. The only other drug I know of that can cause spontaneous tendon ruptures is cipro but it usually occurs while on the med or shortly after.
