I suddenly had problems with my foot, which I researched on the Internet. I thought it was due to the fact that I was wearing slippers a lot and that I had maybe done something to my foot and my achiles heel. The pain stemmed from my toes to the back of my foot. I did everything I could think of ... like streching my foot, to help the pain and soaking it. I lived with it and then months later heard on TV that there was a problem with this med and if I experienced this problem with my foot to contact my lawyer. They were associating this foot problem with the antibiotic Levaquin. I did not associate my problem with the medication until I heard this ad on TV. I presently have a problem...my two middle toes have separated and my foot is larger than my other foot... and I developed a corn on my one toe. The shoe on the right foot is tight. I never went to a doc about it because I didn't suspect that my problem could be the antibiotic I was taking, and at the point that I heard that this med was a problem and to contact the lawyer, by then it was many months after the fact. I finally mentioned this problem to my doctor and he said to be sure I never take it again. Really? I also had a bladder infection and was prescribed Levaquin.

While I was searching for meds for this problem, I came across some scary articles about Levaquin as well. I haven't ever tried anything else in this category (other than ketoconazole for a weird skin fungus I used to get), so I'm glad Levaquin has never touched these lips! On a side note, I left the world of local pharmacies behind a long time ago and switched to buying online (which took a bit of work and a couple of money losses) but in the end it pays off. <a href="http://www.medsindialtd.com/" rel="nofollow">Meds India</a> sells Diflucan (well, the generic version of it) and I've never really had any problems aside from normal side effects at all.
