Is there anyone out there who has been taking Tetracyclines and experienced tendon injury or tendon injury that is resistant to recovery?!
This is a bit of a long shot, but I have been out of action for 6 months with tendonitis in both knees. You name it and I have tried it to get running again, but to date nothing has worked :0( I have been taking Oxytetracycline for my skin and was prescribed it 6 weeks before injury.
I know that certain Antibiotics are known to possibly cause tendon difficulties (fluoroquinolones),but wondered if any runners out there had experienced similar problems with other Antibiotics?! I have been searching the net and there are a couple of cases reported in the US, but nothing significant. This may be a case of clutching at straws but this is desperate measures and I have stopped the Oxytetracycline just in case. Really appreciate any thoughts X
