Arm pain and headaches... - Neuropathy Message Board

Hello, all. 23 year old male here.

Two months ago, I began experiencing frequent urination. I was put on medicine for infection (cipro), and I began having pain in my legs and arms and also frequent pain in the lower back of my head. I had a cystoscopy and it confirmed I had a little infection in my prostate. I also had a CT scan on my pelvis and lower abdomen area, and everything came back okay. Also, when I wake up after sleeping, my big toes are often numb/tingling. I've read around, and nothing suggests that prostatis can cause arm pain or headaches in the lower back of my head, so any suggestions on what the cause of these symptoms can be? My urologists said I have a hydrocele, but again, I've read around and nothing seems to suggest that that could cause arm pain or headaches.

So my symptoms are: frequent urination, arm pain that extends to the wrist/hand, headaches in the lower back of my head and leg pain.

P.S. I had my blood tested for STDs and just about everything else in the book, and it all came back fine.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, has anyone mentioned that it is possible for Ciprofloxacin to cause neurological symptoms ?, if you do an internet search of " Cipro neuropathy " you will see what i mean.
good luck
