What Causes Leg Pain, Weakness And Nausea While On Levofloxacin 500mg?

Four days ago I was prescribed 500 mg of Levofloxacin, one a day, for a sever sinus inflection. I am experiencing leg muscle pain and weakness and nausea I am unable to contact my physician until tomorrow. Any suggestions or can you perhaps confirm that I am experiencing some significant side effects and should discontinue use until reaching my physician.
