Answer
This sounds like a significant health problem.... you need to go to your doctor or to the hospital.  

You may have RSD- reflex sympathetic dystrophy in the leg... the nerves that control the blood vessels can "go crazy" and cause the blood vessels to spasm down.  But you need to make sure your infection has not recurred.  Staying on Cipro isn't an answer... resistance to this antibiotic can occur pretty easily.  Get it checked out....
