Im taking levoflaxin an antibiitic and i woke up and couldn't walk. my foot feels broke. is there a tendon in the right side of your right foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly.: This medication may rarely cause tendon damage during or after treatment. There are tendon in the foot. Your risk for tendon problems is greater if you are over 60 years of age, if you are taking corticosteroids ( prednisone), or if you have had a kidney, heart or lung transplant. Stop exercising, rest, and get medical help right away if you develop joint/muscle/tendon pain or swelli.
