diverticulitis
"Whilst this may have worked well on the diverticulitis, the side effects were so awful.  I used Cipro for 10 days in April, and was almost crippled with heel pain in my left foot, and big toe pain in my right foot.  I had to put a box in my bed to keep the sheets off the foot, it was so painful.  Once off the Cipro, my heel and toe pain slowly lessened, but I had a serious diverticulitis flare-up last week and they put me back on it in hospital.  Despite telling the doctors about the heel pain (imagined, they said) they prescribed it to me when I went home.  Then I started doing some research.  Am now off the Cipro and will never take it again; just hoping the damage done to my tendons isn't permanent.  Back on Augmentin."
