What Causes Dizziness And Popping Sensation In The Joints?

Hello. I was prescribed levofloxican for pneumonia. This is the third day I ve been on it. It is helping the cough but causing dizziness and more popping in my joints. I have severe Osteoarthritis. The CMC Arthroplasty I had on my right hand about a year ago, caused thumb supposition and the antibiotic seems to be causing more popping in my thumb, less movement in my thumb and tingling. Is this something I should go to ER for? Thanks, JaNae

Good day and thank you for posting this question. Sorry about the pain. I would suggest you stop the use of levofloxacin as soon as possible and complain to your doctor. Levofloxacin is known to cause tendon inflammation, tendon rupture and muscle pain. Kindly report to your doctor and a new antibiotic will be given to you for the pnuemonia you have.
