I just had some blood work done as I've had chronic back pain for 5 years. Very sporadic, very painful (at times). Tried yoga, massages, chiropractor, nothing has worked. So I went to the doctor, had some imaging done which revealed some pars defects, spondylothesis (sp.), and some other minor things. My blood work on the other hand came back with the following:
IgG P41 Ab - PRESENT IgG P39 Ab - PRESENT IgM P23 Ab - PRESENT
Then it says, "3 antibodies present, high risk for possible lyme exposure. recommend follow up"
When I called to schedule follow-up, the nurse said it was nothing urgent and I can't be seen for a week. Is this something I should be worried about? Anyone have insight here with these antibodies? I'm eager to find out what I have. Can anyone confirm that I 100% have Lyme based off these lab results?

We can not diagnosis you. We are not doctors.
From your blood test results, you clearly have been exposed to the Lyme bacteria. Reactive band #39 is specific for Lyme. Time to become your own health care advocate and start researching all you can on Tick Borne Infections.
Start by taking The Probability of Lyme test here ;
I figured all of these were just from stress, but hoping once I'm diagnosed I will be able to alleviate some/all of these.

Normally, this would be moved to Medical, but since there is already one there, I will leave it.
