 1  UTI Worst drug known to mankind. Still experiencing side effects 3 years later. Achy joints, muscle tension, spasms and twitches, peripheral neuropathy, white matter deterioration on MRI, dizziness, the list goes on. If I was offered cipro or rat poison in the future, I'd take my chances with rat poison. Ask for anything other than cipro. If you experience the devastating affects of cipro, do whatever you can to ingest an anti-inflammatory diet. A daily chelated magnesium supplement helped my nervous system and muscles so much. Water, detox, lower your stress levels. Remember your body is designed to find alignment and you WILL heal over time. F 27 2 days

 1  sinus infection stiff joints, severe knee, heel, elbow and lower back pain. I was given Cipro for a sinus infection, I had surgery to remove a obstruction that had blocked my left sinus, they tried everything bractrim, serveral other antiboitics to clear up the severe infection I had. Last resort was Cipro,and unforturnately I had to have serveral doses of it three weeks at a time as the infection was reacurring. I have to say it did finely clear up the infection but I'm paying for it now, feel like I went from the frying pan into the fire sometimes. I think the damage to my body is done. I've been in pain for a very long time. Would not recomend taking Cipro to anyone. I've had severe pain in my left knee for over a year and a half, the orthopedic surgeon has givin me cortizone shots and it helps with the pain. F 51 6 months

 1  Kidney infection Yes, The Cipro appears to be clearing up my Kidney Infection. With it came many side effects. The first day I took it I got very sharp pains in my lower abdomen that were so bad I curled up in a ball on the floor for a half hour. I have never felt pain that bad before. When the pain subsided I got up and walked to the kitchen and instantly got light headed. Instead of getting a drink, I ended up heading for the couch. On my way there I literally felt drunk... I couldn't walk straight and everything was starting to go black. Just as I got to the couch my lower lip got extremely tingly and I blacked out. Days 2, 3, and 4 I had pain in my hands, arms, legs, feet, and hips. I had chest pain and was short of breath. My mind was in a fog. I couldn't think, couldn't concentrate. Headache. I felt depressed. Day 5 I had that sharp pain in my lower abdomen again.. This time I was curled up on the couch for an hour before it got better. I literally thought I was dying. I've been doing some research online for home remedies. I came across one that said to take a shot of Apple Cider Vinegar 3 times a day. They claim that it's good for getting rid of Bladder and Kidney infections. So I started this yesterday...Not only could this be helping my infection, But all my side effects seem to have up and disappeared. LOL... But it did burn going down the first 2 times :) So be ready!

Patient History
 1  cipro Who would EVER think I've taken this and now it is thinking perfect sense. I have had UTI's on and off from May 30th 2013 to current December 2013. Occurrence DaVinci robotic surgery for hysterectomy due to cancer. I have had more urinary infections then I can imagine tomorrow I go for a MRI with contrast. I'm going to bring this up to my doctor and find out what's going on. I am appalled on what I've been reading. I get muscle spasms starting at my feet going at my legs and been thinking it was from an injury years ago but as I look on to the current it's been getting worse since I've been on antibiotics. I've never taken any , therapy or radiationas the cancer doctor stated they got it. I was overdose in the hospital 3 times I have my medical records. That's pretty sickening my name put somebody else drugs in your veins and then write stupid report that they had to inject me as I was afraid to do it myself. I was very aware I just could not live I was so out of it. So they figure they can counter act and write a stupid report that I feared doing it so they did it for me. If I would have been able to get up and out of the bed I would have ran their necks. Back to the point of cipro. It is a disgusting situation that I am now going to look into. I got the information off of youtube from a man who stated that cipro has almost killed him. I am afraid to take most antibiotics I do take probiotics 85 billion per pill I make sure I take them 2 per day at the same time. I have lost F 54 10 days

 1  UTI I started taking this drug for a UTI and only made it through 3 days of it. I ended up extremely nauseous, having very bad joint pains, and then I ended up in ICU because of severe chest pain. I seriously thought I was having a heart attack. I was in there for 4 days. During the first 2 days, the doctors wanted to do a couple tests for my heart and forgot to give me the Cipro. By the end of the second day, they realized I hadn't taken Cipro and since I was already in ICU, they gave me one more dose to see what happened. Again, severe chest pain, joint pain worsened, and to top it off, I had a severe anxiety attack and it felt like my bones were breaking. I went home from ICU on the fourth day with a different antibiotic. I will never take this again! F 32 3 days
