yeah- sit back relax and this too shall pass

Shin bone pain is bartonella. Rifampin/doxy/zith is what my son is doing.

I did levaquin/ceftin 9 weeks at the beginning of treatment and then again 9 weeks at the end.

Have you been treated for bart?

Posted by CaliforniaLyme (Member # 7136) on :

Stabbing pains in hands and feet tend to be Babs

Yup, as was said already, calve & shin pain tends to be Bart

Deep BONE pain interior pain is often Ehrlichiosis/Anaplasmosis

but it can all be cross-over and remember, everything is not Lyme, could also be separate issue- so I would first go to regular doc & check if it is somethign simple- then go to LLMD!!

Too bad, Stymie!!!

I'm sorry you have a new one, Stymie. [Frown]

I hope you get it figured out & fixed quickly. [Smile]

I think I remember complaining about something like this early on. I tested neg for Bart, pos for Babs.

Hi DocDave,

Good to see you back posting again, but I'm sorry it's because of a symptom.

I had shin splint pain in both legs when I first became symptomatic with Lyme & Co, but it went away with Doxy.

It has come roaring back, along with some bone pain, now that I'm on Rifampin for Bart.

As you know, sore soles are usually symptoms of Bart, which I also first got when on Levaquin for Bart. But I also get stabbing pains in my arches, but they are very nerve-oriented for me - electrical shocks that make my legs recoil. It sounds different from what you are experiencing.

I did see a podiatrist several months ago for Achilles Tendon pain from Levaquin, just to rule out something mechanical. He knew nothing of Lyme, but said there was no way it was plantar fascitis because my symptoms were so symmetrical. He just knew it was something systemic based on my symptoms.

He also said that tarsal tunnel is like carpal tunnel, but it's in the feet, and it can some times cause pain in the feet.

Please let us know what happens.

Jill

Sorry Docdave..no clue...but my daughter used to complain about a similar pain and those went away with bart/babs treatment.
She used to describe them as "sensation of having blisters on her soles"
I was told those pain are nerve pains originated in the brain.

So what if you have the stabbing bone pain everywhere. I get them in my hands, my under forearms, my legs, shins, and feet?

It's horrible!!! I jump and yell "OWWWWW!" and scare the crud out of my husband. They are very painful!!!
