Call your doctor: If you're having calf pain, or bone pain with levaquin, (levofloxacin) you need to contact your doctor as soon as possible. You may need to be seen for examination. This also needs to be documented in your chart. Prayer is fine, but seeing your doctor in person is more important in resolve this.
