I started Cipro (along with ceftin and a flagyl pulse) in February. Had a few herxes each month. But then had three great weeks. But then when I herxed again at the end of April, the pain never went away. It feels to me like the type of pain I have always had... Muscle, joint, but ten fold. But how would I know if it is tendon when everything hurts?

Tendon pain will be located wherever there is a tendon. It will not be in the muscles. It will be a little above and below a joint.
The tendons start at a joint and end at a muscle. So, they start at your ankle, for example, and go up 6 to 12 inches or so and end at the calf muscle.
You will feel a tightness there at first. Then, it will progress to actual pain in the tendon.
So, the location of the pain is the best indicator of whether or not it is tendon pain. The most commonly affected tendon is the achilles tendon. So, that is right above the heel.
Feel there and see if it feels painful or tight.
Tendon pain is not in muscles or joints.
