My son is 7-yrs-old. he says he feels "cold" on his shins sometimes or the tops of his feet. He says it's like a pain, but the pain feels "cold".
Since he's little. I can't get solid info on what he means.
Does anyone have any experience with the "cold" pain???

Yes! But I'm so new to Lyme that I have no clue. But my feet have the same pain, and I don't think you could describe it any clearer than your smart little 7 year old. It kind of reminds me of the cold pain from getting a numbing shot at the dentist, but not exactly. I hope you find some answers. Posted by echorox (Member # 11969) on :
hi Jessibell777, yes I know exactly what you mean by this, I've had this for a number of years. souls of feet, ankles/shins, knees [frozen cold for about 9 months of year] all the way up my thighs. yes, and its not like a conventional cold like I experienced before the Lymes. it could be described as a pain cold. and of course in typical Lymes fashion my neck and shoulders are burning.. crazy horrible stuff!!!

Yes, feet and hands. I associate this with neuropathy for myself. Mine got a lot better with doxy.

I think this is what I get?
Its mostly in my feet and legs. But it feels as if my bones are frozen cold and it hurts.
Very strange!

Thank you so much!
Love, Jessibell

Amy C--EXACTLY!!!!!!!
I get the weirdest looks from people when I tell them I get chills so bad it hurts.
It feels like my bones are frozen! And it does hurt, and it takes soooo loong to get warm so the hurt goes away!

Hmmm... my youngest son's hands and feet are always wet. Always. It's kind of gross actually because his hands pick up all the grime from his playing. I keep learning more and more...

I'm sorry your little one isn't feeling well.
The front top of my thighs get this weird cold feeling along with a prickliness. Like when I was a kid and stayed out playing in the snow too long and my fingers and toes got too cold and had to thaw out.
My hands and feet get a different kind of freezing cold. They don't hurt, but they are really, really cold more often than not.

My daughter is 6 and we are awaiting the results of the Western Blot test. She always complains about her legs feeling cold.

for a while i was getting a sensation of what felt like ice cold water running down the bottom of my leg (shin area).
whenever i felt it, i would always go to wipe away water - nothing would ever be there, but the sensation continued.
