Can Neck Pain Be A Side Effect Of Cipro Or Could It Be A Spinal Disc Problem?
My husband is on cipro right now for prostatitis. He has been having pain in his neck. He has a had surgery, along while back, for a bad disc. He has a plate in his neck. Anyway, I was wondering if cipro would cause pain there or if it is indeed a disc problem again. Just wondering.He hasn t seen a Dr. yet.

Hello,
Cipro does not cause neck pain.
It might be due to cervical disc problem like cervical spondylitis.
Consult an orthopedic and get an X-ray neck to look for any disc degeneration or changes.
As of now you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief.
Avoid excessive straining as in bending.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
