This was the start of stasis dermatatis, edema and terrible burning of feet & ankles plus leg pain. I had had spinal fusion, lamenectomy 5 years ago. Doctor said my nerve was a very angry red nerve. I thought my PN was possibly due to my spine surgery because I was and am on pain meds because of the terrible spine pain, along with eventual burning feet/ankles and leg pain. When I think back, the burning feet,ankle and leg pain did not start until after my bladder surgery. I wish I had known about Levaquin. I now believe that is the reason for my PN.
