Hi Julie, welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Thanks for asking a question to Chat Doctor. Forum.  You had P.I.D. and using levofloxacin, metronidazole, and clotrimazole pessaries. Now you are also having left lower back pain, and abdominal pain, your left leg is numb.  You are getting treated for P.I.D.and it is O.K., there appears to be some orthopedic problem like sciatica, arthritis of the hip joint.  I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I. besides other routine tests for confirmation.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.  Best regards.
