Thanks for the update, Craig. I always enjoy your posts.
I am sorry to hear you had a tendon rupture. That had to be a painful fix!
These can happen commonly after you use a fluroquinolone
antibiotic. Cipro, Levaquin or Avelox, etc. The process is not well understood, but happens weeks or months after you stop the antibiotic. People typically rupture the knee, or Achille's tendon, but a bicep one can also happen. We have another member on NT who had a bicep rupture.
So don't strain anything, because another may be in the works.
And try not to use those antibiotics if you can, to avoid further ones.
This family of drugs also are neurotoxic so that would be another reason to avoid them if possible. Sometimes it is not possible, but you can always try another type if you need to.
