I'm worried....I started having problems with my right knee a couple of months ago...pain while walking and some pressure behind the knee while bending.

A few weeks ago my lower back started hurting. Now both of my knees hurt while walking or standing and they feel as if they are getting weaker every day.

Very bad in the morning - legs achey, back hurts. Hurts the same after much walking or sometimes sitting. Does this make any sense?

Is this a symptom of Lyme or some co-infection?

I'm pretty sure I have Bart as I've had problems with my feet for quite some time.

So worried - feel like I'm dying slowly.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving with loved ones.

Thank you for being here everyone.

I know lyme disease causes much pain for some in the knees.

They actually can test for the evidence of B. burgdorferi infection in synovial fluid of the knee.

Not saying to go through with this test but Lyme seems to love the synovial fluid.

Michele,

What is your treatment protocol? Did you notice anything that improved it, or stopped improving when you stopped taking it?

Have you been on Bactrim DS?
