Back in October, 2009, I had to go to a doctor because of a cat bite, causing infection in my arm..My regular doctor was not available, so I saw another Doctor which we have used in the past..After examining me he said he would give me a shot, and an antibotic.. The antibotic turned out to be Levaquin..After 2 pills, my feet began to feel funny.After 2 more, My heels on both feet hurt so bad I couldn't hardly walk..I went and saw my regular doctor and he stated my feet problems were caused by the Levaquin... Their warning on the drug, says that anyone over the age of 60,can have it go to the feet, and any tendons in the body..Also, not to be given to anyone on steroids, of which I've been on for over 6 months. the orthopedic doctor says I have a ruptured Achilles heel tendon in my left heel, and damage to the heel tendon in my right foot...Damage is permanent.. So, if you or anyone you know is asked to take this medicine, DO NOT TAKE IT !!! Ask for something else..Surgery is out of the question for me due to my COPD... BEWARE THIS DRUG LEVAQUIN
