Took Fluoroquinolone 5 weeks ago for UTI. 0nly took 2 doses of 500 mg pill when I discontinued the drug (Levaquin) due to tingling in legs and toes. Currently dealing with anxiety, palpitations and random pains of unexplained origin. Heel pain started on day 7 after stopping the drug but seems to be getting better with rest. Using Buspar to help with anxiety. Anxiety is hard to get in control. Just don’t know which medical specialty would deal with this. I am hoping that all this abates .

Welcome @mlmal, I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you to have a UTI treatment make things worse. I'm glad to hear the heel pain is starting to get better with rest. I don't think you are alone trying to get anxiety under control. I'm wondering if the following article might provide some suggestions.

--- Doctors Who Treat Anxiety: What to Say and Ask

Mayo Clinic also has some information on diagnosis and treatment that might be helpful - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/anxiety/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20350967.

Have you talked to your primary care doctor to see if they have some suggestions?
