Hello and welcome in "Ask a Doctor".
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Based on your symptoms, I think these could be side effects of cipro and usually the side effects could last some days (possibly 2-3 days) after the interruption of drug.

Hope I have answered your query.

I am sorry for my late response.
It is true that in some patients the side effects could last longer and in this situation we suggest to use just symptomatic treatments like ibuprophen for the pain.
