Suggest Treatment For Pain In Tendons Caused After Taking Ciprofloxacin
Question: Hi,
I got 2x500mg Ciprofloxacin for 10 days to treat a minor ear infection.
This was 8 weeks ago.
During the treatment I developed tendon and joint pain, tremors, tinnitus and abnormally frequent lose stools (no diarrhea).
I found out that the tendon pain comes from Ciprofloxacin.
Is there anything I can do to treat it?
Thanks,
XXXX
