Susan's Story
| I was prescribed Levaquin for the treatment of a pelvic abscess. After about 10 days I began to have soreness in my Achilles tendons. I discontinued taking Levaquin after another week. I was prescribed steroids for the pain, which made the condition worse. I was then told to to physical therapy which also made it worse. I am trying total rest now and am seeking the opinion of an expert in this field. |
