My body and legs aren’t doing so great. If someone is available to chat, that would be great. Maybe meeting someone who is also struggling would be ideal, as we can share our emotions and try to support and uplift each other, or simply just vent and rant.
Hi everyone, I am newly floxed due to levofloxacin and could really use some support or success stories.
The drug caused an injury in my ankle right where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone.
I just got my MRI results back, and it shows an cyst inside the bone right at the insertion point, along with tendinopathy. The tendon itself is fine, but I am unable to walk from this injury. I guess the tendon was pulling apart at the insertion, and this caused fluid inside the calcaneus bone.
Has anyone else in the community developed a bone cyst or severe insertional damage from a fluoroquinolone? If you had this, how did you manage the healing process? Did you use a walking boot, specific supplements, or modified PT?I would love to hear from anyone who has navigated this and successfully healed their bone and tendon.
I feel like I’ve searched and can’t find anyone with something similar.
Thank you all in advance!
