I was prescribed Avelox 13 months ago for a sinus infection. Day 12 I developed neuropathy in my left hand and stopped talking this medication. The was the start to a nightmare. All of my joints became enlarged, I had swelling in my knees, arms, muscle ridigity. I was prescribed oral steroids and while on them all of the symptoms were relieved,but quickly came back after I stopped. All of my labs were normal, no RA, no liver damage ect. I went to an orthopedic who gave me injections in my wrists for the tendonitis and this was helpful for 4 months. All the symptoms came back after 4 months. I went back and had more injections but relief was short lived for only 2 weeks. I went back again as my fingers became so stiff I could not bend them. I was given injections in the base of several fingers, went back for more fingers to get these injections. Now I have a ganglion cyst on top of my hand that is huge, knees hurt, pain in stiffness in the 2 remaining fingers that have not had the injections. I am so frustrated due to the problems with dealing with this poison. I have been taking motrin/tylenol and have even tried turmenic, suppose to be a natural anti-inflamm., and nothing has proven to give me relief. The doc who prescribed this to me offers no insight into helping me. I would love to sue the drug company but I can not find a current class action law suit. Any one experience what I am going through?
