Need in person eval: If your symptoms are getting worse despite the fact that you're off the cipro, (ciprofloxacin) you need to be seen by a doctor and make sure that the two are related.

See below: You could have something called reactive arthritis which can caused by infections such as those that cause uti. You may want to see your doctor to confirm that this is what you have as you may need further treatment.
