Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
I have thoroughly read your query and completely understand your concern.
According to me joint swelling is due to ciprofloxacin allergy (seen in a few individuals).There is no specific treatment for the side effects of ciprofloxacin.However I would suggest you to stop the drug and avoid this drug in the future.Joint pains and swelling will gradually subside with rest and analgesics. Prednisone is used to treat the allergic reaction/side effects of ciprofloxacin and it should be continued.Hope this answers your query.
