Ciprofloxacin side effects
Two days ago I was prescribed Cipro as a treatment for possible Prostatitis. Within 10 hours I felt a popping in my left shoulder, three times in the same place - there's now quite a lot of pain there and my arm is a little bit tender to move when I move it in one particular way. The doctor, when I asked beforehand, told me "oh all medicines may have some side effects", without mentioning this. If my tendons get damaged it will end my career and the sport I do to stay fit. My question is: If this is tendon damage caused by the drug, what do I do? Can it be cured? And how can I find out if they have been damaged?
Thanks for your help

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
I don't know how you come up with these things. But no this is not due to ciplox. It's safe.
Have you ever thought that there might be different causes for the pain?
Just because it happened during that time doesn't mean it's because of the drug.
Get it checked out by a orthopedician.
Best regards.
