What Are The Side Effects Of Ciprofloxacin?

I m pretty sure I m having a reaction to ciprofloxacin. I have terrible joint pain, can hardly walk or get up or down. My knees feel like they are locking up. Was released from hospital with this drug and only took 1 day and night before stopping as symptoms started. Am not at home and cannot get into a doctor other than going back to ER. Was in hospital for 4 days for stomach virus and viral infection, dehydration, kidneys getting bad, etc Trying to fine out how long this may Kat s or if I need something to counteract it?

Hello,

Fluoroquinolones may cause tendinitis or tendon rupture and arthritis.
You may discontinue this drug and then consult your doctor.
He will examine and treat you with alternate medicine.
