I have been dealing with spine issues/surgery; and a couple of surgeries not related to the spine. Unfortunately, after one of these surgeries was given a 14 day antiobiotic of Levaquin. This was after having bladder surgery. Everything was much worse after this surgery. At the time, was not aware of the possible nerve damage using levaquin. I do have painful PN; especially legs, burning ankles and feet. I take Oxycontin, as well as Percocet for breakthru pain. These meds do not seem to decrease my energy levely very much. About 6 months ago, started taking Methylcobalamin B12 (2mg's) (on empty stomach) as well as 100mg's Stabilized R-Lipoic (empty stomach) and 150 mg's Benfotiamine 3 x's a day. These have been known, in some cases, to help damaged nerves. Mrs. D is quite knowledgeable in this area and has been of much help in guiding me with these vitamins/supplements. I must say, since starting these three vitamins, my energy levels have increased. Whether this is the reason; but also the pain seems to have lessened as well. Hope this may be of some help.
