These just started in the last two days:

Deep bone pain on bottom of left heel w/slight swelling. Didn't injure it. Better with arched shoe then barefoot. Past the point of being able to ignore now.

Tailbone pain only when sitting straight on a hard surface. This is new.

Soooooo....treating Bart w/ Levaquin. This doesn't seem a tendon problem. I'll check w/LLMD Tuesday-in the meantime any TLC ideas?
Thanks,
wantabe

I don't have any advice, but wanted to say that I suffer from the heel pain you describe on my right foot.

I have Lyme, Bartonella and Babesia. I suspect Bartonella is causing it in my case.

My sister has the horrible tailbone pain that you describe.

I have heard that these are telltale bartonella signs. So looks like you're on the right track!

Thanks CD and LL-
I hoping I don't have to stop the Levaquin. It has helped a lot with the Bart symptoms.

I really don't understand how and why these symptoms can come out of the blue, disappear for a while and BINGO back again or something new takes its place-in another place of your body...

Is it the medications chasing it around? Makes me feel like my body is an amusement park in a horror movie.

We will see what tomorrow brings-
night for now,
wantabe

I frequently get the heel pain in both feet. I don't get the tail bone pain but often get deep hip pain.

I've found the cold water on my feet helps ease the pain a bit.

I did not have a positive Bart test. Just all the symptoms. Treated w/iv rifampin last summer until my body said "no more".

Foot really hurts this morning! I'll try cold water.
Thanks,
