Suggest Remedy For Torn Tendons In Shoulders And Detatched Retina Post Intake Of Levaquin

I was on Levaquin for two weeks. It may have helped me get over the bronchitis but I ended up with torn tendons in both shoulders and a detached retina after taking it. I had surgery for the retinal detachment and am scheduled for surgery for the rotator cuff tear in the left shoulder. Basically is made my life very difficult. How long do I continue to have the side effects

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern these may not be the side effects of the drug, because this is very rare side effects another one is tendon affected but not of shoulder, but retinal detachment is very unlikely, as matter of fact this may need further investigation and research, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
