Female. Age 30. I was prescribed Cipro when I came back from a trip to Central America with a mysterious fever that had lasted for 6 days. My dosage was 500 mg, 2x a day. After the second day, I started having wrist pain. Day 3 it spread to one angle, and on day 4 both ankles and both wrists. Day 5 I stopped taking the drug, as I realized it wasn't my own mild activity causing this pain. I have now been off the drug for 9 days, and the joint pain has escalated terribly. I have severe pain in both ankles and in 1 knee. The other knee hurts, but is slightly more flexible. I hope hope hope that this pain will go away soon, because I am almost completely immobilized despite several full days of rest, elevating the joint, taking anti-inflammatories, using braces, etc. It is really remarkable how harmful this drug is, and I just hope to heal from those 10 doses I took soon, and I wish my doctor and/or pharmacist had said something.
