Ciprofloxacin and blood pressure

After 20 cyscosopies and three bladder ops. for bladder cancer I am now having periodic UTI's which necessitate urgent anti-biotic treatment.
Recently for the first time Ciprofloxacin was prescribed for 7 days at 1000mg/day. After six days I could not walk and my hands felt as if all the bones had knitted together. The pains in both areas was intense and I could not understand what was happening.It took 10 days for the pain to subside and I can only hope that reading these experiences that is the end.
One other thing must be reported and that concerns resting heart beat.Every six months I take my own blood pressure and pulse readings and report same to my GP in order he may check my medication.
After five years of such readings whereby the resting pulse was averaging 45-50 after this little episode it has shot up to 77-80.
The BP has not altered.I agree I too will never take this drug again!
Thank you all from Buckinghamshire in the UK.
