Hello, I have been treating Lyme and co-infections for 16 months with abxs. and supps., etc. I was just on zith. and omniceft for a couple of months after coming off of IV roc. for six months. I felt much better a few months ago and my swollen knee was actually down and I was doing plenty of PT. About six weeks ago my knee started to swell up to the point where it is difficult to walk and my fatigue is back along many other aches in the back/neck region. My LLMD wanted to switch thing up. Currently I am ramping up on tetracycline(my knee is on fire) and will start mepron this week, if insurance cooperates. Can anyone share what has worked for them with regards to swollen joints and how long can this swelling last? This was my first symptom five years ago and I am trying got kick it out of me. Is it possible to have swollen joints with babs. because I always thought this was more of a Lyme/bart. symptom? Any advice would be appreciated or protocols that worked for people with a swollen knee. May you all be doing the best that you can and I am so thankful for this site!!!! climber

I have read that babesia can cause the knee and joint swelling. Have you been treated for this? Malarone and zithromax is the standard treatment.
