"I Connected the Dots and Linked Tendonitis to Avelox"

Roswell, GA: " I didn't connect the dots with Avelox and tendon problems right away," says Carrie, who had surgery last month for tendonitis in her finger. "Six days after I started taking Avelox, my infection got better but the pain in my hand was unbearable."

When Carrie finished the course of Avelox treatment (10 days) she went back to the doctor: her finger was almost bent down to the palm of her hand and she couldn't straighten it. "My doctor thought it was tendonitis so I had an x-ray," says Carrie. "Nothing was broken so he sent me to a specialist who thought I had 'trigger-finger', where the tendon in the palm gets so inflamed you can't straighten your finger. I had two cortisone shots but they didn't help.

I'd never had any joint problems or this trigger figure before. [The doctors] just thought I woke up one day with inflammation in my tendon, but how could that happen? I'm not even working; I don't do anything repetitively. There was no reason, this tendonitis came right out of the blue.
