Suggest Treatment To Recover From Possible Adverse Reaction To Cipro
I went to my doctor for a UTI a few months ago. I had her run my blood for some on going joint pain (she did blood testing which came back clear) and she put me Cipro for the UTI (urinary tract infection) I got very very sick three days into the dosage and was almost debilitated when My daughter researched and found the side effects of a Cipro were dangerous, especially for anyone who has joint pain. It said that doctors should not prescribe for people who have joint pain. This frustrated me because that was the reason I had my blood run--(joint pain).
My daughter then asked me to call the doctor and tell her I was having a bad reaction and switch my antibiotics (which I did). But I began struggling even more with pain so I went back the the doctor. On the next visit... A month later she ran blood again. This time my blood levels were off and low ferritin was found (after having taken cipro). That's when I was sent to a hematologist.
I started googling cipro to find out more info and found that it causes the identical pain in feet and hands, joint, muscle, tendon and over all aching, shaking inside, heart pain and rapid heart beat, muscle weakness (all the things I have been experiencing since having taken cipro). Apparently many people have reported this after taking cipro and facing life long debilitation.
Today after researching it even further found that cipro can cause hematological problems (Anemia). Also found out it can cause gastrointestinal bleeding... Which would cause low ferritin...
I need to know what kind of a doctor will help me recover from possible adverse reaction to cipro?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Ciprofloxacine some time induces joints pain and not always and this is not the reaction of drug but this is brisk side effect of drug, and if some one gets this effects due to ciprofloxacine, then this effects goes away as soon the course of drug finished, you have taken this information very seriously, in fact the reason for for your pain could be something else, but not the drug, I would advise you to take it easy stop researching, no need to worry, every will be fine, hope this information helps you.
