Suggest Remedy For Pain In Tendons Of Thigh
I am 12 weeks post discharge from the hospital with pneumonia. I was given levaquin upon discharge and within two days developed serious pain in the tendons of my thighs. I continue to have the tendonitis with no change in pain levels. I went through a bilateral epidural at L4-L5 through the pain clinic who thought possibly the pain might be related to a pre-existing spinal stenosis. I received no relief. I can not find anyone in the medical community that can give me any insight for treatment or prognosis.

Hello,
As a first line management drugs like gabapentin can be taken. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. In severe cases a steroid injection to the spine may be attempted.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
