Leg Pain Update

The pain in my leg is not getting better even though I've been pretty much resting at home for the past two weeks. In fact, I think it's slowly getting worse; I've been having problems sleeping for several days since the pain gets worse when I lie down or try to elevate my leg to reduce the ankle/foot swelling. I did find out that the list price for Levaquin was $140 for 10 pills or $14 each. That seems crazy expensive. Even with insurance pricing, it was still $116. Maybe that's why my doctor prescribed it vs. the other antibiotics he prescribed later which only cost $10. I wonder if they get a kickback from prescribing new and expensive meds.

I'm now getting leg cramps just walking to the kitchen. Leon came by today to help me with some chores (washing laundry and buying groceries). However, after he left, I just sat around again and didn't get to cook either my beef soup or spaghetti sauce. I probably need a set of crutches since each time I put weight on my left leg, the calf muscle cramps. I really don't feel like going to work tomorrow but I think I don't have a choice; I'm the official PowerPoint clicker for a meeting tomorrow and my one and only staff analyst is out-of-town.
