In an attempt to share results of past medication, I took Cipro for a few months for a bout of tendonitis and dragging of one leg. A Chinese doctor replacing our regular doctor prescribed the medication, and the pain disappeared almost immediately. Later when the pain returned our doctor would not accept this medication and refused to give it to me saying it was not what I needed and returned to Naproxen, an anti-inflammatory drug. Any comments?
