| 1 | post-surgery infection prevention | severe back pain, knee pain, mild ankle pain, headache | I'm an extremely healthy young guy and prior to taking Cipro I had never experienced back pain or knee pain. My back would hurt when I laid down at night to sleep. It seemed to intensify as I relaxed, and tensing up seemed to slightly ease the pain. When I woke up in the morning, I felt fine though and it didn't hurt standing up during the day really. Luckily after I stopped taking the drug the back pain got 90% better. Knee pain kicks in primarily in the mornings when I'm driving to work and has also improved (but not gone away) since I stopped taking the drug. However, I have had a headache now for at least 5 days! I've never had a headache for this long. I can't think what else it could be related to. Ibuprofen helps, and luckily the headache isn't too intense, but the fact that it's not going away is scaring me. Will be seeing a rheumatologist and possibly a headache specialist soon. | M | 24 | 7 days | 12/7/2009 | 1 | Kidney infection from large stone | To the person who posted on 11/18/2009. I am happy you did not have any side effects from Cipro. You are a very lucky person and should really count your blessings. My life has been a living hell from this drug. I took it for a kidney infection in 9/08 it worked great for me. My infection returned again in 10/08 so my doctor prescriped it again and thats when my nightmare began. It has been over a year and things are better but I have nerve damage in my shoulder and in constant pain. My ears ring all day long. I only sleep 3 hours a night. Why would all the people posting make this up. I have nothing to gain from this because I can't do anything about it legally because it has a black box warning on it. So Bayer is protected and I am not. | Taking this drug is like playing Russian Roulette. | F | 49 | 7 days | 11/19/2009 | 1 | Bacterial infection | Numbness, dizziness, blurry vision sensitivity to light, rash | Do not take it, it's not safe. | F | 46 | 7 days | 11/19/2009 | 1 | atheletes foot, staph infection | lower back, kidney pain | i have been takeng 500mg twice a day for one week and my lower back/ kidneys hurt terribly. realizing that every dose increased the pain, i have finally stopped taking it and called my doctor. | M | 36 | 7 days | 10/16/2009 | 1 | UTI | Anxiety, Insomnia, pain in legs and shoulders, stiffness in muscles | Left me with crippling anxiety and mental breakdowns, I thought I was going crazy. My life has changed, its been 3 months now...I now take anti anxiety meds and hope I'll recover over time. I am glad I am not alone in this, anyone who experienced similar things please write me [email protected], | M | 26 | 7 days | 10/28/2009 | 1 | Infection | I took Cipro for 7 days (twice a day @ 500mg). Everything seemed fine while taking it, other than it gave me a yeast infection. Well here I am two weeks after I finished my course, and suddenly my achillies tendons and ankles are absolutely KILLING ME. I'm very scared because I wasn't aware of the horrible side effects this drug can cause (or how common they are) until after I'd already taken it. I've laid in bed for the past three days because I can hardly walk. If anyone has any advice PLEASE EMAIL ME! I'm so scared that I'm going to end up with a rupture or that this pain will last forever (as many people on here claim). I can't believe my doctor gave me this SH!T and the only side effect he mentioned to me was sun sensitivity! Sun sensitivity...and here I am barely able to walk. | Again, please email me if you have any advice or ideas as to how I can minimize/heal the pain in my achillies tendons and ankles. I've never in my life had any problems with my feet or tendons. I'd also like to hear from anyone who's had similar side effects from taking Cipro and your experience with it (did your pain go away over time, etc?). I'm really freaked out right now--THIS IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN WHAT IT WAS MEANT TO TREAT! | M | 29 | 7 days | 10/27/2009 | 1 | post surgery infection | HORRID EVIL DRUG!

It was my first time exposure and unfortunately I'm still experiencing side effects long after stopping the drug. I don't know if this will be permanent but it has definitely altered my life. I can't work, I can't do the activities I used to and I'm 36. I feel like I'm 90. I would avoid this drug unless it's the only drug that will save your life. | F | 36 | 7 days 500 mg | 3/5/2016 |
