My husband took cipro when he had some prostate biopsies, a few years ago. It has caused permanent neuropathy in his feet. Nothing we do helps much, and we have tried nearly everything. His tingling isn’t as bad as yours, but it is serious. We walk a few miles every day to make sure he doesn’t lose the ability to walk.

Now when they ask him about allergies, cipro is on the list. Never again.

They put this in the very fine print of a long document when you’re given it the first time. They are too nonchalant about it. It is yet another reason why I don’t trust big Pharma.

B12 might help the neuropathy. It caused mine to diminish in my calves and feet.

I walk a minimum of 10k steps a day normally. Now I’m right around 5k. Taking it a bit easier than I normally do. I’m usually extremely active, lots of manual labor. Not getting on ladders for the time being just to be in the safe side.
