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. After this something still didn't feel right and I suggested a kidney infection as I had started having some back pain. My doctor checked my urinalysis (which I did take after the 2nd round of cipro, and they also did a culture) and said she found sodium urate crystals in my urine.
