Is It Safe To Take Cipro For Prostatitis?

I have recently taken Cipro for prostatitis and did not equate the Cipro use with my Achiles tendon pain. PMH of patial Achiles tear. Have an appointment with Orthopedic, but not for 2 weeks. Icing and heat seem help as well as the topical Voltaren.



Any other thoughts or assistance while I wait for my appointment would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

You are having tendon tear. For that anti-inflammatory medication can be prescribed for five days.

Avoid strenuous activities and take rest. You can apply ice wrapped in a cloth over the affected part. Avoid running and brisk walking. Avoid further usage of ciprofloxacin as it can aggravate tendon Tear.

If not heal until you consult orthopedic surgeon than surgical management might be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
