I've learned a lot about flouroquinolones in the past few months. For one thing, there's a cumulative effect, so the more times you're exposed to them, along with various other things, including nsaids, it exacerbates the damage. I take Meloxicam for painful arthritis in my hands.

One of the side effects is clumsy gait, which I'm having a real problem with. I also had bilateral Achilles tendon ruptures, and I don't know if the clumsiness is from the tendon ruptures or is a separate problem. I can't get any answers from the doctors.
