Maybe, but....: Ask your dr if can rx other antibiotic. Fluoroquinolones, like Cipro (ciprofloxacin) are associated with an increased risk of tendinitis ; tendon rupture. You can workout/train while on it. However, if you develop any tendon pain, swelling, or inflammation, you should stop taking cipro, (ciprofloxacin) avoid exercise and use of the affected area, and promptly contact your dr about changing to a non-fluoroquinolone antibiotic.
