Can Cipro Be Used For Pseudomonas Infection In The Leg Of An Elderly?

I am a 75 yr old female with pseudo infection in leg that is healing from 20 radiation treatments for skin cancer. Culture taken showed pseudo infection. Dr just put me on Cipro 500mg tabs and I fear taking them for possible tendon problems that might occur at my age.
