"I was prescribed Elequin (also known as Proquin and Levaquin). They belong to a group of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. From day one of taking this medication, I started having severe pain in my legs, back, and abdomen. I was on this antibiotic for seven days, twice a day. It's been months since I finished that course of antibiotics, and I have multiple torn tendons, a compressed urinary bladder, severe nerve damage, daily digestive issues, abdominal pain, and severe anxiety. It was one of the worst decisions I have ever made in my life to follow that gynecologist's instructions and take this medication. I've made it a priority of mine to warn others of the dangers involved in taking these very harmful and toxic antibiotics."
