Yes levaquin (levofloxacin) : Quinolone antibiotics ( Levaquin (levofloxacin) ) may have the side effect of joint aches and pain and to a lesser extent but of greater consequence tendon rupture ( achilles' tendon being the most common). These side effects are uncommon but you need to be aware of.

I hurt my hand and cannot get it looked at until tomorrow. Swollen, bruise on palm. No pain stationary, pain when in use, can make fist with pain, can touch thumb to fingers with pain, can't lift things without pain. What can I do in meantime?
