A member asked:
25 y/o m 130lbs w/bilateral achilles damage from levaquin (levofloxacin) 1yr ago. 6 months of pt failed & now 4 months afterwards both calves are always tender/sore.

Mri: If the pain is in the tendon perhaps an MRI might show some tear, if it is in the calf the pain may not be related. 6 mo of pt should have helped. Since it didn't, i would look further. It could be the way you walk, or tight calf muscles or overuse. Might try a rockersole shoe.
