A recent new symptom I've had in the last few days is a pain in a spot in my ankle just below and behind the ankle bone, about the size of a fingertip. Sometimes the top front of my foot on the same side hurts too. This week is the first time I have had that particular kind of pain anywhere.
I believe there is a major nerve ending near that spot on the ankle. However, it's steady, dull ache, not shooting, stabbing, burning or tingling.
It comes and goes, but sometimes starts while I'm asleep, and may hang around for 24 hours, or come and go for a few minutes. It doesn't respond much to massage or stretching, and I felt it start up a little yesterday even though I had taken Excedrin for something else.
I am fighting yeast, also new this week, and otherwise being treated for Lyme but no known coinfections so far.
Has anybody else experienced something like this?

I get this a lot too. i also get the same pain in my hands and fingers and toes. Foot and Ankle pain have a lot to do with bartonella, but also lyme causes joint pain.
Soak your feet in Epslom salt. Also take Magnisium;)

I used to get those weird spots of pain whenever I started taking Diflucan. Not sure if the bugs try to hide in our extremities or what. Sometimes it would be at the tip of my big toe, or a thumb.

Hahaha, Julie, I just had a vision of the spirochetes racing for the exit and crashing into the wall at the end of a finger or toe, like a confused bird hitting a glass patio door, oops.
I got the pain in my foot a few days before I started Diflucan but around the same time the yeast popped up. Now that I've been on Diflucan a few days and the yeast has improved a lot, I also haven't noticed the spot of foot pain. No idea if those 2 things are related, though.
Maybe it's just another one of those odd transient symptoms that come and go quickly and then don't come back for a long time, if at all.
