[QUOTE="BJE, post: 144827, member: 13968"] I’ve dealt with prostatitis for about fifteen years. It started with acute bacterial prostatitis which had me so sick I couldn’t get out of bed. Since then I’ve had frequent recurring chronic prostatitis. Seldom has any infection been found yet antibiotics have always improved symptoms. However lately when symptoms have flared up I’ve gone to the doctor and got a prescription but then I’ve waited a few days before starting treatment and the symptoms have disappeared on their own without treatment. So maybe it has not been an infection. At any rate it can be a very frustrating condition. A caution on Cipro. For treatment of my first acute case I was given Levaquin, another drug in the same class as Cipro. I had three rounds of ten days each. On the third time I started having tendon pain in my hands and Achilles’ tendons. I stopped the levaquin but had trouble walking for about three weeks. After that I refused any flouroquinolon drugs. A few years back my doctor convinced me to try Cipro. After taking the first dose the tendons in my hands started hurting. I will never take another dose of it. There is an orthopedic surgeon in my area who is retiring because of neuropathy in his hands which he blames on the use of Cipro. I also met a man at my gym who took Cipro for prostatitis and now has neuropathy that his doctor blames on Cipro. I think the most effective antibiotic for me has been a series of rosephin shots. I think that if I perhaps was harboring a bacteria in my prostate that kept flaring up that perhaps this antibiotic had finally cleared it up. Another thing I feel has helped my prostate is regular prostate massage using an Aneros prostate massager. [/QUOTE]
