What Are The Side Effects Of Cipro?

I just read a story regarding a lady who took Cipro for a UTI, and now has had serious tendon, ligament, bones issues that required multiple surgeries. She notes that Cipro has a black-box warning. I am now concerned because I too took Cipro for a UTI because I thought I had significant reactions from Macrobid. Do I need to be concerned??? Thanks! Mary Ann
