After taking 500mg twice a day, I developed a very bad stiff neck after 3 days. I have never had a stiff neck before and I am a very athletic person. I have been off of Cipro for about 3 weeks now but my neck pain has not gone away. I have become very limited as far as the exercise I can do and the activities I can complete. I have been treating this with a heating pad and trying to find comfort in a hot tub. Can anyone tell me if they have had a similar reaction and if so, does the stiff neck get better? It hasn't gotten better yet and I'm starting to get a little nervous. Also, does anyone know if Cipro causes actual damage to a neck or what the machanism of action is that would cause neck pain? Is this going to be permanent?
