HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern but this is not the side effects of ciprofloxacine of course this drug can cause the joints pain that happens only when this drug taken for long time with the proper adequate dose, your elbow selling could be due to the pathology it self and not the ciprofloxacine, hope this information helps you have good day.
