Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Levofloxacin
I am having inflamed tendon pain due to side effect from medication, Levofloxcin. Doctor prescribed Prednisone. After 2 dosages, pain has not stopped or improved. There are 3 pills left and I am doubtful if this will resolve the problem. Is it possible this is irreversible? Could my tendon possible be torn and require surgery? Can t put any pressure on leg.
