- If you have been diagnosed with prostatitis, please tell us your story: age, duration of symptoms, treatments, results, and the like.
- My story is unfortunately similar to many. All started in June of this year with a kidney stone. From June to September of 2013 I had 4 kidney stone attacks. The 4th one ended with me getting lithotripsy to remove the stone. Levaquin preoperative and week followup of cipro 500 mg 2x day. All was fine then had the Stent removed during outpatient procedure. Single 500 mg cipro. After this all was good for about a week. Then started having groin pain for about 3 weeks. Dr did another outpatient cytoscopy and said all was fine. Another single 500 mg dose of cipro. Still had pain. So doc did DR and found elevated white blood cells. Dr said it was prostatitis. No culture was done. Script was 500 mg 2x day of cipro for 6 weeks. No help with pain. Dr added sulindac nsaid to help. 12/7 had another surgery performed to make sure no small stones or strictures were present. None found. More preoperative Levaquin. About a week later started feeling better. I knew of risk factors with cipro and was paying attention to them. On 12/28. Noticed tight muscles in my calves and by next morning the burning in my legs began. Stopped taking cipro that day. Dr said that cipro could cause the muscle issues but did not know of issues with neuropathy. So now a week out I have insomnia, peripheral neuropathy, some anxiety, and mild depersonalization. I have great insurance so we are off to Mayo to see if they can help in any way. Wish me luck.... After all this, I still have mild symptoms of prostatitis even though Dr said wbc from eps is fine.
