I think I have torn my achilles tendon. I can't get in to my ortho guy until next week but from all I read it is torn. I was never on any quinolones so that is not the cause. Has anyone had this problem and what did you do about it...surgery or just immobilization?

I had a partial tear in one achilles and tendonitis in the other...didn't realize it was the Plaquenil til an ER doc mentioned to me that he'd seen it before.
I stopped taking it and it began to heal within days...slowly. LLMD said he's seen it a few times...Plaquenil is somehow related to the quinolones. Full name Hydroxychloroquine.

I haven't ever been on Plaquenil, just mepron and malarone. I didn't know that Plaquenic is related though. Thanks for the info. I am going to re-read about all my meds.
