The fluoroquinolone family can cause neuropathies.

It can also cause TENDON ruptures! The tendon ruptures can happen months after stopping the drug. I have not seen yet a mechanism that has been discovered that explains it.

If you are having pain in the hip, I'd get that checked out.
MRI, or whatever other test they can do. Physical therapy may help.

There is also a burisitis you can get there too.

If you cannot walk, that is severe and something should be done. Perhaps a sports medicine doctor would be able to help.

This article may be helpful for you.
