I too was prescribed levaquin at least twice for kidney stones about 8 years ago. Since then I have had episodes where I couldn’t walk, I have chronic fatigue and tendonitis and arthritis with chronic incontinence that left me to apply for disability, Before this drug I was a go getter and very active and now I can barely up one flight of stairs. My thumbs and knees lock up with extreme pain that almost brings me to tears. I am on your side in whatever you will do as in lawsuit against the company. I feel your pain and I would love nothing more than be able to go back to work. Thanks for this report, Georgette Sorini
