I was given a prescription for Cipro 500 MG twice a day for 10 days. Four days into the treatment I had to stop. [b]I had diarrhea and a very sore throat. And it felt like my colon was burning.[/b] Especially when I eliminated. I felt that if I had continued taking the drug I may cause permanent damage to my throat and the rest of me so I stopped. Eight days after starting and five days after discontinuing the Cipro [b]I started bleeding from my rectum."[/b] "In 2005 I was prescribed, and took, 8 cycles of Cipro for recurring UTI's. Three years later, [b]I have ruptured tendons and ligaments in my left elbow, left soas, outer aspect of both feet, right knee, right ankle, both rotator cuffs, and left trapezius.[/b] Each injury has occurred while engaged in utterly normal, everyday activities like bending over to make my bed or lifting my purse onto my shoulder. I have never experienced prior instances of ligament and tendon rupture. My body is literally "popping" apart and I live in CONSTANT PAIN. The chiropractic and PT bills are staggering. Has anyone out there been personally involved in, or do you know someone who has been involved in, a SUCCESSFUL CLASS ACTION SUIT against the manufacturers of Cipro?"[/i] [/quote]You have proof, see a lawyer, They put billions aside for law suits, Sue the hell out of them. I dont know how they could sell this crap. The FDA says there alright, fck them too. To answer my own question: They still make billions even after law suits, when they make enough $$$ and people wise up they take it off the shelf. [/quote]

I started taking it Tuesday night for a sinus infection. Some of the side effects are joint and muscle pain...which I started to get. A popping in my arm and wrist and pain in my arm that I haven't had for years (tendonitis). I read a bunch of information about it and there are yons of horror stories of being being disabeled by, even after 1 pill. I took three. I also causes insomenia and I have tossed and turned trying to sleep for the last 7 hours.
I am in so much pain! The doctor gave me a new antibiodic, Septra DS...I am so scared that Cipro has fucked me up. People are saying it can lead to toxicity. Even the information provided by the pharmacy says side effects can appear months later. Many people are saying they started to get pain and over the next couple days it got worse to where they couldn't walk. It leads to muscle wasting and nerve pain.
I mean even last night I leaned on my arm, plam down and my wrist felt like it was going to break. I am getting shooting nerve pain in my butt and leggs.
Now I can't sleep.
Turns out cirpo was made to treat anthrax. Even PBS wrote an article about how bad it is and that the FDA won't do anything about it.
I am so scared. How can I detox?
