Cipro and muscle pain

I took Cipro and had a persitant leg twitch, and did not think anything at the time. many symptoms came around a month later. all over body twitching, burning skin, muscle pain, tendon pain. maily on left side of body. Also, insomnia, dark circles under eyes, horizontal depressions in fingernails...just to name a few. It has been almost 2 years and I have sense been diagnosed with fibromyalgia by PC, I need to go to a ruemy. I have never had these pains until cipro and I still have all of them most of the time.
I told my mother not to take Cipro or any in the same class. She was prescribed Levaquin and called the nurse and said she did not want anything in the same class as Cepro, and thew nurse said "Oh no it is not, I did hear Cepro was bad". So she took them unaware. She was so sick after first pill. she thought it was severe flu. She could not even move her arms because of terrible shoulder pains.

15 years agoI was on cipro.....bad shoulder pain and back pain.. instantly one day.. after I was off of it.....over these years severe nerve and muscle pain in left chest and back. debilitating pain nothing helps...cant exercise at all so muscle tone completely left....

I've had constant muscle pain for years now. I never connected it with Cipro, which I've been on numerous times for uti. Yesterday, the doc prescribed Levaquin since Cipro seems to be losing its effectiveness. I became extremely drowsy and anxious, went looking on the net about Levaquin and discovered it's in the same class as Cipro! After reading the posts on lots of sites about Cipro and Levaquin, I'm scared I've really harmed myself, but now that I read about others, my symptoms are beginning to make sense, so I'm somewhat relieved. Doctors CANNOT be trusted, as they are so pressured - brainwashed, really - by the drug giants to prescribe, prescribe, prescribe. The system stinks. Outright, legal bribery.
