Tendonitis in the Feet from Avelox

Back in February (I believe, I developed a sinus infection and was given cipro, I took my daughter to D.C. for a Truman scholar interview and one day out of the blue, I could hardly walk, I could barely move my legs forward the pain was in the tops of my thighs and buttocks. It subsided in a couple days. In June 2012 I developed severe head pain and popping in my nose, a CT was done, I had sphenoid sinusitis and was given Medrol and Avelox, After a few days I developed painful calves, knees and feet, I began to suspect the antibiotic and it was switched to a different class of drug.

I was diagnosed with tendonitis both feet in May, and inserts were ordered, I am still having foot pain especially my right heel and the outside of both feet. I walk daily usually 3 to 4 miles and have for some time, I am 58 and have NEVER had foot pain prior to this unless there was an injury and it was short term only then
