Is Cipro Effective In The Treatment Of UTI?

HI Doctor! I m taking Cipro for a UTI and I m on my 5 day. This is the first time I ve had a UTI and I don t know if there s side effects to CIpro. I feel like after all this time I should be feeling better yet even though I m not running to the ladies room I still feel the urge to urinate. I also feel pressure and weakness in my pelvic area and lower limbs. I was going to go back to my doctor on Monday but should I not wait till then with these symptoms. Thank you.
