Ok, so I started CSM/glucomman (50/50) cocktail 4 days ago; only 1/4 tsp each 3xdaily so a very low level. Within 3 days I developed substantially increased pain in the bottom of my right foot. I have to hobble and can't walk on it.
The foot is not injured. Nothing has happened to it. I am bedridden so there has been nothing that has injured it. Further evidenced by that the pain is sporatic not constant. I can get up to go to the bathroom and have to hobble and can't even put that foot down at all. 20 minutes later I can get up and walk on it just fine, no problem, so it is not a muscle/bone injury thing at all. Something in the tissues.
Is it possible that CSM could be creating this side effect or is it the timing is likely coincidental of it?
A few months back I had all over bottom of feet pain and could barely walk. Others at the time said it was likely Babesia related. Over time it improved. Now it is just the bottom of the right foot just at the front edge and side of the back heel pad. I have never had a history of foot problems, just the painful bottom of feet all over.
I am not on any ABX, just CSM/glucomman and otehr things for mold treatment. I did have a phospholipid exchange IV on Friday. Not sure that could cause anything this strange with pain in bottom of foot???
Any thoughts/considerations? Thanks for any help.

It may be that the your new medicine is causing a flare-up or a version of your original symptom.
I have extremely painful feet, usually at night or early morning. Sometimes my arches feel like they could crack in half. Other times the heel of my right foot feels bruised. Mostly, though, I have burning, prickling soles.
I attribute mine to bartonella and babesia. I have been diagnosed with both, plus Lyme.

I have horrible pain in my left arch and heel.
It throbs horribly at night and wakes me up.
I thought is was just another symptom of Lyme. Is it not?

Bottom of the foot pain makes me think bartonella.

This is brought up on the board pretty often and I want to say it has been brought up that Dr. B sez foot pain on the bottom of the feet is a red flag for bart.

I have sole pain. I have lyme/babs.
Here is a link to a thread i started awhile back.
Topic: Anyone with bottom of the foot (sole) pain without bart?
Thanks everyone for all the helpful answers to help with options in understanding this!

I think it's due to Borrelia. I found that wiping Venex bee venom ointment on the bottom of my feet stopped the pain almost immediately. It was usually followed by a herx.
