Wow.
I had heard that those types of medicines could cause PN, but I didn't know they were antibiotics.
Because of my PN pain, I had a spinal cord stimulator trial two weeks ago. After the trial, what did they give me as an antibiotic? Levaquin! A fluoroquinolone! How frustrating. I had an allergic reaction to it. I was only on it for 4 days, but why would doctors give that out to someone with PN if it has been shown to cause PN? Stupid.
