22. That's why the doctors use it

It's very good in fighting infections, but the price is too high. When I told the doctor what it had done to me she acted unconcerned and said she's heard something about that but that she was sure it would go away. The problem is the drug company that makes it doesn't tell the doctors how dangerous it is. The entire floxin (ciprofloxacin) family of drugs has bad side effects. And my tendonitis and nerve damage has not gone away in 3 years.

In any case I hope your problem gets cured completely. Losing your leg is scary!
