Floxxed or Normal? Should I stop taking?

Hey all. I thought Id share my story. I developed epididymitis two weeks ago and was tested for sti's and UTI. Tests came back negative however the doctor stated that I had an infection, as the tests indicated high white blood cell count. Prescribed 2x 500mg Cipro daily for 7 days. I am on day 4 (took my 7th pill this morning.) I am currently experiencing my joints "click". Not just one but different ones at random times, but very frequently. Which is something that wouldn't happen before. I also felt mild muscle twitching in my hand, though I am unsure if I am overreacting to this and it's something normal. I am very conflicted on taking the 8th pill today and am seriously considering stopping the antibiotics course all together until I can see the doctor on Monday. I am scared because I have read a lot of people's horror stories. Just looking for some of your suggestions. Any help is much appreciated.

Hope everyone is doing well out there, and thanks to those who share their experiences on this sub, it has been eye opening to read about the nasty things this antibiotic does to some.
