Read the insert very carefully under side effects. It ruptured my planter fashitis tendon and I had to have surgery. I can’t take any of the floxin drugs after that. It’s listed as a known side effects but they make it sound rare. What triggered my neuropathy to get worse and trigger my heart problems was the second moderna shot. It caused cardiac autonomic neuropathy. They did not tell people it could make their neuropathy worse. You have to be careful what you take with neuropathy. There’s no test that can be done. Depending on how long ago your EMG/nerve conduction test was you could have another one done. It would have to be close together the test. I do not know what your neuropathy score was. Mine was 9.5 severe and 10 is the highest. My neurologist told me we would never have to repeat it since my score was so high. I know by experience certain things make it worse. For example if I have something sweet like cake or brownies I pay for it that night. Yet I can eat an orange or apple and I don’t have as bad problems.
How long has it been since you took the last pill? Did you stop the prescription and take something else or did you keep taking it once the problem got worse?

I've had PN for twenty years, shortly after a spinal fusion. Degenerative disk disease, severe arthritis, and heart issues. I'm also rated 100% (p&t) disabled by the Veterans Administration, although I have never been treated for 'PN' by the V.A., only private Doctors, and have been a patient with the same local medical clinic for over twenty years! After a recent case of bronchitis, I was prescribed 'Azithromiacian', for five days, and then 'Levofolxcian'. Two days after taking the 'Levofloxcian' severe back and leg pain symptoms started. I finished the two-a-day doses, for a total of five days on that medication, and stopped taking it about a week ago. I was then prescribed a muscle relaxer and pain-killer Presnidone, for ten days. It is not helping! I'm scheduled for an MRI tomorrow. I think I may need a lawyer. None of the protocol meds have worked for PN. The pain when trying to walk is so bad I need a walker and feel like my lower body from my back down to my feet won't support my upper body weight, and I'm recovering from a total shoulder replacement in December 2024. This new pain is above and beyond what I've been living with for PN pain for twenty years. Any suggestions? I did read the drug insert package before taking the 'Levofloxocian', and called the PA who prescribed it. He said, "You won't be on it long enough for any side-effects"! When my PCP returned, he told me he would have prescribed the same medications. Who do you believe, and now what do I do?

Hi @artemis1886 ,
The type of sugar truly changes the reaction and length of recovery. Still paying for Sunday, and I know better!
