Gary's Story
Took trovan and Levaquin for prostatitis. Not the same since. Difficulty sleeping and concentrating. Have burning and pain in my joints and tendons. Also in jaw like toothache with numbness in my lip and face. Have been to many Doctors. They seem to know nothing about it. It has been over one year. Some symptoms have eased but others like joint pain have worsened. |
