I recently developed muscle pain. My thighs and hamstrings hurt/burn very badly.
I've been pretty functional, but with this new symptom, I am almost house bound. I can not go anywhere because I can't even walk through a parking lot due to the severe muscle pain.
How severe is or was your muscle pain? Just a slight ache? Or much more?
Thanks in advance!

I'm in your same boat with same problem I'm about to buy a wheelchair because the cane is no longer cutting it
I'm also having the tingling & burning in my face, how about you? Any symptoms in the face?

There are days when I feel like I'm being eaten alive with nerve, muscle, and joint pain. Before treatment I almost bought a wheelchair too. I frequently have to use a cane--it's off and on.
I hope your pain improves.

Sometimes I feel a crushing muscle pain that is almost all over, near centered around the chest. That is the worst. Sore muscles I have are: Neck, jaw, face, shoulders, back, hips and sometimes around the elbows. But normally nothing past the elbows or the knees.

My muscle pain (for now) stays in my thighs and hamstrings. I used to be pretty mobile, but I can't do too much now.

In the beginning my muscle pain was very severe but it usually diminished in a month, for some reason. I had back and leg pain so bad I sat next to a heating pad all day long and got heavy duty pain killers from the doctor. Then it was my arm which I could hardly use at all for a month.
I could cramp up suddenly and then be in pain for weeks as though I had torn something. But that just went away as suddenly as it came. I hope it stays gone.
Hope you get better soon.

Mine was very bad but I am able to stop it with my antibiotics, which are oral clindamycin, 150mg a couple times a day.

My arm pain can be hell! Very painful joints and muscle....very tender to the touch! I would sit at my desk almost barely able to work at times due to the pain. I am hoping Rifampin helps.

My foot pain has been having me be in the same boat-- basically housebound. I will say that when that happened, I went for a second opinion as the treatment regimen I was on was not cutting it.
I have now begun a new treatment plan and gosh, the difference. My abx regimen is helping so much. I am being treated for Lyme, Babs, BLO and possibly Mycoplasma.
Are you currently being treated? Sometimes herxes can cause bad pain. The burning you describe sounds like it could be nerve related -and nerves are the last things to heal at least I have read.
Have you talked to your doctor. I know being housebound is really hard... Hang in there....

txgirl09, do you have Babesiosis? My muscle pain is always from it, and it goes away with Babesiosis treatment.

Very very severe muscle pain and burning muscles-neck chest and back. Magnesium can help somewhat but I am still looking for more help.
