Anyone had a lung abscess treated with a long term antibiotic course?

Last November I developed PE and a large abscess in my left lung. I spent 7 weeks in hospital, being given intravenous antibiotics (Penicillin and Metronidazole). Once discharged, I have carried on with oral antibiotics Amoxicillin and Metronidazole. The latter has caused unpleasant and painful numbness, tingling sensation and burning pain in my feet. My consultant told me to stop taking Metronidazole, but the tingling and pain have not eased much at all. I am worried hat the condition in my feet is permanent. Has anyone else experienced similar?
