Cipro is major medication they should only give out when every other option is exhausted. For this I think they could give you a lot less, unless this isn't what you're taking it for? Don't mean to pry, but I took it when I had gonorrhea/ Chlamydia.
"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.
