I have had Carpal Tunnel Surgery on both wrists and was wondering if taking Levaquin could effect the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Hi Laura.

Whether you've had Carpal Tunnel Surgery or not, if you take Levaquin, and get cytotoxic damage, then it can certainly play a role.


Can Levaquin be the cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

It can certainly be the cause of all the Carpal Tunnel Symptoms, yes. And/or at least play a role.

CTS is a dynamic made up of a variety of factors.



I'm guessing that you've had carpal tunnel surgery, you still have pain and symptoms, and you're wondering if Levaquin is to blame.

Well, surgery is not a sure fix for CTS. From where I stand, it's not a fix and it rarely if ever gets a person back to 100%, or even 80%.

So if you still have symptoms, there are a lot of factors at play. If you have also had Levaquin in there somewhere, that is a good topic to investigate.

Tell me more, and let's see what we can see.
