I was prescribed CIPROFLAXACIN 500 mg 28 tablets twice a day. I developed Achilles tendon on my right leg
while playing volleyball. I am using crutches and off from work with short term disability. This drug did not cure my existing problem
but created new problem. Even when such side effects were known to the Physicians and Pharmacists I was not made aware of this. As a United States of American citizen I am requesting FDA to please ban such drugs
that cause such side effects.

Firstly, thanks to all who make this exchange possible.
Over the last year I have developed pains and problems but never contributed this to be related to Lipitor.
Basically it started relatively harmless and progressively got worse.
By now the most affected parts are neck, Knee, Hips, lower back.
Over the last 6 weeks it has become very pain full to do basic tasks such as walking and I have become less and less active.
4 weeks ago I stopped playing volleyball because my knee popped.
Several days ago I thought it was unreasonable that I degenerated from a healthy and active person only 1 year ago to a person riddled with problems.
This is when I linked this to Lipitor.
Reading everybody else’s problems, mirrors my experiences rather accurately.
So I came to the conclusion, that my change in lifestyle is causing me more harm, than Lipitor is doing good.
Yesterday I stopped taking this medicine, I will try and maintain a good diet and eat lots of flaxseed oat meal for breakfast.
I will monitor for improvements and discuss this with my doctor later.
Perhaps with exercise and diet I can either control it or possible go on a reduced dosage.

Again, thanks to all and good luck
