cipro and kidney disease

Dad also had Lou Gherigs disease..he died at age 73. now this testiclular problem and kidney problem..I am kinda worried...thanks for helping me with your answer...

I ahve had stones with terrible pain and stones with little or no pain.......that kind of pain was only maneable for me with morphine....so I don't envy you. I was only clearly diagnosed the first time because I pass them at the hospital and they were large enough to see....but I have also had them many times where I must have passed them without even noticing.

I had one day of left of the Cipro and I started urinating every 5 mins for about 2 hours. I went to sleep and was fine. I got up the next morning and started urinating again every 5 mins (ALOT of urine) Not sure if that was me nerves bc I do have a history of health anxiety. Anyway, I made an appt with the Urologist and he said it sounded like a kidney stone in my ureter.

Microscopic hematuria can be due to urinary tract (bladder) infection, swelling in the filtering system of the kidneys, stone in bladder or in a kidney, blood disease, like sickle cell anemia, certain medicines and tumors in the urinary tract. You may need a series of investigations like urine examination, urine culture, ultrasound or cystoscopy to confirm the diagnosis. Please consult a urologist and get it done. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and regards.

On 12/14/11 I went to the doctor again because I was still having the right flank pain and I was peeing more. She ordered an ultrasound just to be on the safe side and started me on cipro thinking I might have a UTI. After 3 days on cipro I began to bleed vaginally. Since I am like clockwork and my period was not due for another week I was a bit concerned. I stopped the cipro and made sure to schedule the ultrasound. 5 days into bleeding still I went for my ultrasound.

I thought that maybe I had pulled a muscle in my back even though I didn't even throw the ball that many to times since my lower left side of my back had been hurting. Felt like labor pains Monday night it hurt so bad. On Cipro now. I just wondered if anyone else has unexpected kidney infections too.

Regarding the urinary tract infection It sounds like the organism causing the problem is getting resistant to the drug Cipro and you may need a new prescription. Also, Cipro may be causing you to throw up. it is possible you have a kidney infection still and it is causing pain that is radiating to the front.

I felt very sluggish and miserable. Then my temperature started elevating and I took Cipro. Everything would improve, but time I quit taking cipro, my temperature would elevate to around 101º. When I went to my urologist, he found a stone lodged in my ureter blocking flow into my bladder. I had lithotripsy the next morning which remedied the problem. Good luck.

Even though I took all of these meds, can it be that I still have a UTI , kidney infection or kidney disease? I am in the process of getting a renal and pelvic sonogram but it is a long time from now because of the holidays. Please help! Pain is unbearable.

The urlogist checked my prostate and felt that it could be prostatitis. He ordered urine culture and put me on two weeks of cipro. The urine culture was before I started cipro. In the first 4-5 days, I saw remarkable progress. A lot of my erection related performance had returned back to normal. In the mean time the urine culture came back with microscopic hematuria. After the 2 week therapy ended my erections issues came back (lack of erection and penis shrinking).

Hello and hope you are doing well. Please do not discontinue antibiotics as the organisms causing the infection may develop resistance to the medication. Her symptoms could also be due to the on going infection. Now, have a culture and sensitivity test done to find out the correct antibiotic that the infecting organism is sensitive to and taking this medication for the required amount of days may help to clear urinary tract infection Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

With the onset of this pain my Dr did labs and found trace blood in my urine and gave me cipro a few days later the pain increased and nothing I took OTC helped, I called and he said go 1 more week of increased water intake and the cipro...2 days later I was in the ER for the worst pain ever.....I had a US b4 the cipro I forgot to mention, no stones were seen, and in teh ER they said the infection was clear, and I had no stones, but did have some diverticulitis ....

I agree with Marina that a referral to a specialist is in order. As well one week's worth of antibiotics isn't very much. When I get a bladder infection I need two weeks worth of Cipro (allergic to sulpha drugs - which are the best for urinary issues). Cipro is a harsh drug, but it works well to clean out tough infections. (too if you are exposed to anthrax you'll be fine because that is the drug they use to prevent anthrax infections. useless bit of information for you.

I am 29 and I took cipro about 8 months ago for a kidney infection and after I took it for a few days I developed pain, tingling and crawly feelings on my back. I didn't realize that it could be from the cipro. I finished the prescription and went on to develop severe back pain between my shoulder blades and tingling skin in my arms and legs. I felt like my arms and legs had sunburn and it was hard to wear clothes sometimes. I went to a neurologist and a rhumey.

t have a rash, nor did my daughter -- at least, we never saw a rash, but it can be on the scalp and not seen. The rash seems to vary widely in different people, so I don't know that there is any rule of thumb ... but I would say it probably won't last very long.

Do cipro cause vaginal discharge and oder and disconfort in my stomach and back and sluggishness? This discussion is related to Discomfort after taking Cipro.

I have been struggling to get over what I thought was a UTI for the past month. (I was given a course of cipro without my Naturopathic Doc doing a urinalysis because I was going out of town the day after my symptoms began). I took the cipro (it was a short dose- 3 days, taken 2 times per day), and started to feel better. Then about a week later symptoms came back, tried to treat it naturally and then decided to try the cipro again.

ll be a couple of months before I am back to a place I can see a doctor that I would feel comfortable understands me. Lucky I guess that I have the Bactrim and Cipro with me. Discharge seems to be much less and more cloudy to clear than white now, after 1.5 days on the two Antibiotics. But, still sore in the lower abdomen. Maybe a bladder infection. Thanks again.

Hi Welcome to the MedHelp forum! You must try and find a good nephrologist. Recurrent kidney stones are found renal tubular acidosis, medullary sponge kidney, Dent's disease (genetic disease of the kidney), hyperparathyroidism, primary hyperoxaluria and Crohn's disease. For oxalate stones you need to restrict (not totally stop) foods which are high in oxalate like beans, legumes, dark green leaves, egg plant, spinach, beets, chocolates, wheat barn, rhubarb and nuts and fruit cake.

I am a 36 year old female. I voided pure blood and blood clots with no other symptoms. I had a partial hysterectomy 2 years ago. I had the top of my uterus removed. Went to ER. Ultrasound showed shadowing in the bladder which indicated debris. Cathed urine was grossly bloody. I was sent home with Cipro and Pyridium. My urine culture had no growth. My UR protein was >300 and Ur blood large. Ur leukocytge est and ur micro hpf was also high. My white cell count was 13 and mpv 7.1.

I have large amounts of blood and protein in my urine and my kidney functions are decreased and have been for about 4 years already. I am scheduled with a kidney dr in a few weeks. Because it has been a year I am getting a little concerned. My DR doesn't have a lot of answers for me. I have had Lupus for 6 years now, so I was thinking maybe it is somehow related. Any information would be very helpful, and it would calm my nerves.

They then said i had a yeast infection from medication. and put me on Cipro, and still had pain.. so then they put me on for a irriated urtheia (sorry my spelling isn't to great) I was on this for 2x a day for 30 days. Again i started to feel better, then a week later.. I had the burning/soreness back and the urologist put me on Cipro again. This has been going on for 8months and now the dr just throws cipro at me.

Hello, I'm 20 years female. On 22 May I was diagnosed with a kidney stone and kidney infection after two months of urinary symptoms on and off. 22 May I started taking stone medicines and antibiotics for an infection I felt better for two weeks almost and the symptoms came back again I went back to the doctor at 31 May to check the stones again he told me only one left and the infection is still there.

I was recently within the last month diagnosed with a kidney stone that lead to a UTI. I finished a 7 day treatment of cipro yesterday and the UTI symptons went away, but my both my sides still hurt randomly from time to time. Should I be concerned?

My bloodwork is all normal, CRP, SED rate, and CBC, all normal. Day 5 of cipro and flagyl AGAIN and still having the nagging tenderness in my lower left abdomen. GI I am seeing says we can't do a colonoscopy while there is inflammation, but what the heck are we supposed to do if we don't know what the inflammation is from and we can't do the test to figure it out?! I don't have great insurance, so a second opinion is going to be VERY costly.
