Can I File A Lawsuit While Dealing With Persistent Discomfort In The Achilles Tendon Due To Levofloxacin?

I took Levofloxacin three years ago. On the fourth day My achilles tendon froze so I quit taking the pills. A couple of months later I stepped off a bus on vacation in Europe and my tendon below my ankle snaped and hurt. I wrapped it and finally a couple of months later saw my foot doctor. I wore a boot and then a brace for almost three years and finally realized my bones were slipping out of place in my foot. January 9, 2017 I had foot surgery and they had to fuse three places in my foot. I am still in a lot of pain and also have since developed neuropathy in my feet. Are there any lawsuits I should consider? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

There is no medical negligence in your case and you will not win the case.

So it is better not to proceed with lawsuit.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
