but its one of the best meds for UTI...but yeahh...Cipro aint no joke.
"Tendon rupture can occur while taking Cipro or after completion of treatment. Typically, tendon ruptures occur near the end of 7 to 14 day courses of Cipro, but tendon ruptures have occurred as early as a few hours after the first dose or as late as six months after completion of treatment."
Seriously??!!! This is a known thing? Six months after? I told the doctor I take gym classes of high intensity. I would have appreciated a warning. I haven't torn the tendon, but it's inflamed, along with muscle sprain. (Couldn't straighten my legs in the morning. Standing and especially walking hurts at the top of the calf; it's painful to the touch, and now I'm also getting occasional spasms.) I don't want to be a person who has endless chronic problems. %&^k #@*& &@*#.
So how does one treat muscle sprain/tendonitis? Bandage? Ice or heat? Dr. said wet heat, but at this point I'm considering getting a second opinion.

I've always suspected doctors do more harm than good (cipro/tendonitis) (NSSP).

When I had inflamed joints and muscles the osteopath recommended heat and cold.

Acupuncture is not measurably more effective than a placebo, so I would recommend saving your money. *NM*

For one, that statement varies on the study.

There are better trials than the random-insertion "sham" acupuncture ones.
