feirs1 posted:Hi am just checking since I always tend to blame everything on my medical condition. I am 4 years with a j-pouch but have had chronic pouchitis since the beginning. I have been on maintenance cipro now for our years and it works wonders. I have recently started having back pains and yesterday I had a shooting pain in my back just moving around (not lifting or anything) and now it is bothering so much I can barely stand. If it doesn't stop I will go to doctor but I am just wondering if this could be tied to my use of cipro everyday.
Holy! I could have written this same paragraph this week. I too have been on long term Cipro for chronic pouchitis which is controlling it beautifully, but now have lower back pain. I am dying to know what ended up happening with you ( as I see it's a June 2018 post). I Hope you got answers and are better. Still on Cipro? Thanks.
