I was on levoquin at the beginning of my dx as well. I asked to be taken off of that and they replaced it with cipro which is still in the same family. From what my pharmacist told me, the side effects weren't supposed to be as severe. But apparently, as I am finding out, it can still cause issues. Marlene, how long after being off of the meds did your husband rupture his tendon? Or was it when he was still on them? This worries me, as I am trying to become more active but don't want to hurt myself further in the process. I wonder if it is supposed to get better with time?
