It is a controversial treatment I am under but I feel I have been left no choice after suffering with UTIs for the last 17 years.

I am supposed to be re introducing the Cef slowly and seeing how it goes but not sure what to do.
Don't want to add to an already frustrating and debilitating condition with another.
I looked around on the Internet but couldn't find anything about neuropathy as a side effect of cephalexin though it is mentioned as a side effect of ciprofloxacin (another antibiotic I've had a few times for UTIs).
