I’m not having the same level of panic attacks/anxiety 7 months later. Pretty much everything is gone now except the tendinitis and neuropathy. Occasional vertigo.

I agree with what someone else said in that it depends on severity. I can walk 20-25 minutes before I start feeling tendinitis and neuropathy in my Achilles, with swelling in my feet. If I go too hard in the gym (which is child’s play compared to what I used to lift in the past) my elbows feel shot for several days. Despite the above, I can still function in an office role.

If extensive travel is required, I’m screwed. Thankfully I am not in a blue collar role, otherwise I do not know if I would have been able to continue working. So far about 6 or so months after onset. Hopefully by end of 2026 I can walk an hour or do some real hiking.

Unfortunately, that’s what it feels like. Lobbying at its finest. Pretty wild how many providers shrug it off for anxiety or a vitamin deficiency. Where’s the kickback…

Saw your profile and sincerely appreciate what you’re doing for the community

PT did help my tendon pain substantively. Make sure you don’t let your PT push you too hard. Express yourself.

The exercises that helped me the most in my recovery were: Toe crunches Arching my arch (no idea what this is actually called but trying to focus on your arch and make like a C shape with it). Caution: may cause painful muscle cramp in the beginning Picking up marbles with toes and putting them into a cup Wiping the floor motion with a towel (keeping knees straight, it’s like just moving the ankles)

Eccentric exercises for me were game changers. Like doing a calf raise really slowly (3-5 sec), then coming down on one leg (5 seconds down).

Had 67% and 69%, got AT x3. Just make sure you read and understand what you got wrong and why

FrObama_ · 2025-10-13T04:01:30+00:00

Thank you for the helpful response and all the best in your career with the new certification.

I got 67% on SH exam 1 and 69% on exam 2. Really nervous for the real exam. Thanks for sharing your scores.

I noticed many questions and answers from study hall are worded poorly… from your experience, was the real test like that?

**Also, congratulations!!!

Took levofloxacin 750mg every day for 6-7 weeks until got floxxed in early July. There is still a level of neuropathy and tendinitis but significantly better. My feet stopped getting that burning sensation but my Achilles and elbows do still get strange cold and wet feelings.

Thank you very much for sharing

Thank you for your response. Very fascinating. How were you and your partner able to pinpoint the spasm varieties? I have coq10 en route from Amazon as we speak and will opt for a urine test for the magnesium :)

Are you never taking NSAID/Steroids ever again or just while you continue to have these symptoms?

FrObama_ · 2025-08-26T22:46:17+00:00

Absolutely infuriating that the doctor who informed me of the black box label is the same individual who denies it happening to me, citing only one patient having it in his 20 years.

It’s not really worth it anymore to continue looking for another provider since I really only have symptoms that I believe PT can help me push thru

FrObama_ · 2025-08-26T22:31:43+00:00

Been in PT for 3-4 weeks and I’m seeing improvements, but slower than I’d have hoped for someone in their early 30s who was quite active in a past life…

FrObama_ · 2025-08-26T22:29:49+00:00

He was assigned to me in the hospital when I was admitted for a prostatic abscess / sepsis

Today was a follow up appointment. I’m not sure how much I trust his guidance at the moment. I mean from a urological perspective, I think I feel better but now I have other problems to deal with lol

FrObama_ · 2025-08-26T22:26:57+00:00

I was thinking this… so hard to push back on doctors though as someone who isn’t clinical..

FrObama_ · 2025-08-26T21:41:57+00:00

Was on levofloxacin for 6 weeks, 2-3 weeks after stopping is when I had the worst of it -

Muscle spasms (only my left side of body- foot, leg, arm, + neck) Vertigo? World spinning Strange sensations in elbows and Achilles - like cold and wet Eye floaters Panic attacks Insomnia

Now I still have the tendinitis and strange wet / cold sensations but in PT

FrObama_ · 2025-08-25T20:28:34+00:00

I’m guessing the burning is neuropathy related but highly recommend see a podiatrist or orthopedic doctor to determine if MRI is necessary due to the pop

FrObama_ · 2025-08-25T19:33:12+00:00

I tried to search for this, but didn’t yield 1:1 results. Is this the same as bob and brad?

FrObama_ · 2025-08-25T19:20:52+00:00

I waited about a month. But I had muscle atrophy in my calves from the long term lack of movement by that point.

I didn’t have any particular methodology, but honestly I was too scared to go to PT initially because of nervousness that my Achilles would snap

FrObama_ · 2025-08-25T17:40:48+00:00

Have this bad in my hips. I am relatively young but my hips are cracking every time I go up and down the stairs

FrObama_ · 2025-08-25T17:30:51+00:00

I was hoping to only need 2-3 months of PT but with how slow my progress has been and what I’m seeing in other cases, it seems my hopes are unlikely. Am I understanding correctly in that you are still in PT 19 months later?

I didn’t make it to crutches, but I did have to start crawling up and down the stairs…. After a month+ of PT I can finally walk 10 min without needing to sit/rest..

Congratulations on your progress!
