Hi everybody,
I have been haivng prostate problems for almost 4 years. I am 42 and my PSA level were awesome the 2 times I have had them. I just went to a new Urologist and she said it is an infection that has been bothering me all these years and prescribed Levaquin. I took Cipro for 2 days and it made my joints hurt very bad. I can't understand why she would perscribe a drug in the same class. I will not take it and cannot take Sulfa drugs..does anyone know of any other antibiotics used to treat this ?
