Not sure about only using Levaquin once; but I had bladder surgery about 6 or 7 yrs ago. I was given a 14day prescription for Levaquin. After about a few days noticed my legs and feet starting to swell. Figured it was from the bladder surgery; but by the time I finished this scrip; I wrote on the bottle; "Do not take this med again; swelling feet/legs.
Although I has spine issues, I did not have PN until the bladder surgery. It was on NT that I was made aware of the danger of Levaquin. I have been on Sprionlactone for Edema since the bladder surgery and have suffered from PN since then as well. No coincidence here. I believe Levaquin is the contributing culprit.
