This is subjective but my LLMD said it's hard to link this to Lyme. He did say that bb could irritate spinal nerve roots and cause pain. An ortho told me that many people have bulging discs and are asymptomatic. DDD can exacerbate this as well as we age.

Bb causes us to set off certain classes of our own enzymes that in turn cleave one or more types of our connective tissues. Matrix metalloproteinases(MMP); e.g. MMP9 for one. search Klempner

Thanks for the information.
I wish more than anything there was more studies on this stuff done out there!
