What Could Cause Frequent Tingling And Numbness In Thigh After Taking Ciprofloxacin For Suspected UTI?

I went to the urgent care clinic because I thought I had a UTI (turns out I didn't) and they prescribed me Ciprofloxacin. It was only 500mg 2x a day for 3 days. But by the 5th pill, I noticed a weird tingling/goosebump/numbness sensation going down my left thigh. It's really weird and even though I have stopped taking the pills, it is not going away. It happens on and off consistently every 45 seconds to 1 minute. Is this common or should I ask the doctor about it? I don't wanna go back to urgent care if its no big deal.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern no need to go see the urgent care unit because your problem does not seems because of the medicine you are taking neither it is due to the UIT, this could be nonspecific type of complain and will go away with the time no need to take any medicine for this, only you have to keep your stress level very low, noting to worry about this have nice day.
