In April 2006, I began urinating blood every time I did something strenuous. After seeing many specialists and receiving CT scans and Ultrasounds on abdominal area and testicals my Dr. wrote the symptoms off as a urinary tract infection. He prescribed Cipro, I took the drug for 2.5 days and have not been the same since(was supposed to take the drug for ten days). Now December, I have had severe gut-wrenching pain in my left side, stomach and back. This pain is that of passing kidney stones every day, still peeing blood and waking up with so much pain that I can barely move. I was very much into weightlifting, now I can barely lift my kids, (55, 40 and 35 lbs.) I have had every test known to man and the Dr.'s have no idea what is wrong with me. Just coincidence that this all started after taking Cipro? I have no choice after reading the testimonies on this drug, that this has added to the health problems in my own life. I too will tell all my Dr.'s from this point on that I'm allergic to Cipro and Levaquin. Do yourself a favor and stop taking this drug before you have similar or worse health issues.

I had similar symptoms of pain in left side (under my ribs) and traveling to my back/sides. I was diagnosed with Clostridium Difficile, a toxin induced bacteria that is traditionally caused by taking antibiotics such as Cipro (which I had taken a few months before I was diagnosed with C. Diff). The funny thing about C. Diff is that the most obvious symptom is extreme diarrhea, however, I didn't have diarrhea and they never thought to test for it. I had a colonoscopy and the results came back from a stool culture taken at that time. Please go to your doctor and have them test for toxins/bacteria/parasites. Good luck!
