Hi,

You are right, one common side effect of Cipro and all Quinolones is tendon inflammation. If you have such problems, yes, I would suggest you should talk to your doctor. If he can advise any other antibiotic for this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
