I don't think its ever been linked to problems with ligaments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Every ******* year. When it end. I just hope we can adjust on offense, our offense just isn't as great without Henry in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Kiwi is referring to is that the proposed mechanism of action with the fluoroquinolones is degradation of the Type I Collagen fibrils - and both ligaments and tendons have those same fibrils as part of their structure.

A ligament is like a sheet of paper, very small and fragile. A tendon is like a piece of leather, thicker and denser. I kinda get where you're going with this, but it doesn't translate correctly.

If there was a pharmico reason for tendons to degrade with a medicine it could be assumed it would have a similar affect on tendons as they are the same type of tissue.

It would have to be a mechanism outside of the tissue itself. Perhaps the muscle aspect of a tendon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
