Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, i can understand your concern. If your CT -IVU/(CECT),is normal, then you don't need to worry at all. If your urine culture showed sensitivity to Cipro, then a full course of it, will cure the urinary infection. Drink 10-12 glasses fluids daily, for prevention of recurrent infection. Your flank pain may be a muscular spasm only. After stopping the Cipro, repeat the urine culture, and confirm there's no residual infection. For my expert opinion,you can send it as a direct question, in my name. Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
