Laxseed I was given a prescription of cipro for prostatitis on September6. The doctor mentioned the tendon problems, but made no mention of risk for peripheral neuropathy. On the fourth day of my cipro, I began to have tingling and numbness in my left wrist and hand. I thought I may have been developing carpal tunnel. On the ninth day of treatment I felt my left shoulder start to hurt and it seemed to be connected to the wrist problems. Called my doctor and he switched me to bactrim and said it would clear up in a few days. Obviously that's not been the case. Dr sent me to a neurologist who has me scheduled for an MRI on my neck this coming Monday. I have been taking milk thistle, magnesium citrate flaxseed oil, vit c,b12 since the day I found out about it. I have ordered chelated magnesium and benfotiamine and they should be here soon. Am I doing the right thing? Is anything I'm taking going to be counterproductive . How do I get the neurologist to believe that the medicine caused this? My gp seems to think it did, but stops short of admitting it. Please help. Thank you.
