Hello, I am 50 years old and recently had a case of masitis on my right breast. I was given cipro for the infection. Since that time, I have had swollen lymp nodes under my arm and in my groin. How long will these remain sore and swollen? Also, I have had a lot of side effects from the cipro such as anxiety, depression, back and spine pain, shoulder pain, joint pain. How long might these symptoms last? I took cipro for four days when I realized what it was doing, I then stopped. That has been two weeks ago and I am still experiencing these side effects.
