wrist injuries and a warning

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your discussion responses. Actually, I

never had any trouble with either wrist before and I

think it was not the sudden result of too infrequent a

practice. I think I just happened to notice it for the

first time while doing sun salutations. So it's off to

a doc for some xrays for me.Not practicing for a

week hasn't had any effect.<br> Let me tell you about

a real hazard. There's a class of antibiotics, I

think they're called fluoroquinilones, that can cause

extreme tendon damage if you exercise while taking them.

Levaquin is one of them. I took one of those a couple of

years ago when I had bronchitis, and then was eager to

get back to tae kwondo and yoga as soon as I started

feeling human again without realizing the danger. I

didn't have a complete rupture but my ankles were

hurting for over a year. I didn't figure out what had

happened until I got an antibiotic again 6 months later

and read the pharmacist's warning info. The

orthopedic surgeon, physical therapist, and podiatrist I saw

in the mean time didn't have a clue either. I'm

finally recovered with just an occasional twinge but a

year without much exercise, ugh!
