Dr. Martin Raff answered

Quinolones: The fluorinated quinolones, including Ciprofloxacin have been implicated infrequently in creating tendon damage. This can create joint pain, but improbable within hours after a first dose. Many questions about whether your UTI could actually be gonorrhea or was somehow otherwise associated with acute arthritis. See your doctor.
