Michael's Story
| Was taking Fluticasone/Salmeterol (Advair)
inhaler for a sinus condition. Doctor prescribed Levaquin. I took one pill
in the evening and woke up the next morning with swollen tender feet and
ankles. I called the ER and was told to stop taking the medication. I went back to the ER and was given many tests and given pain medication. I was unable to stand, walk or sit for five days. I was in considerable pain. The swelling went down leaving me with a tingling burning pain in both feet and my fingers.
