was talking to my friend, ann, who has lyme.
she suggested that it is not an injury but rather lyme that has migrated to the shoulder and neck area. because i injured my neck and shoulders a long time ago in a fall, she says it has weakened that area and hence that's where lyme has moved.
i am not on any treatment except for starting humaworm candida which i've been taking for several days.
i don't think that the humaworm would cause this but it brings up the question.
can lyme go to specific areas in the body that have been previously damaged?

Lyme loves injury sites.

I injured my tailbone while sledding 27 years ago while in grade school. I lost control on a metal saucer sled on thick ice and rammed into a tree backwards.
I've been having pain in my tailbone area for the last few years and especially since being treated. It's awful pain and radiates throughout my legs.
I'm not sure if there is anything I can do but continue to treat. Yet another thing about Lyme that I'm trying not to be upset about.

Yes! Not only lyme, I suspect toxins stick to these places of old injuries, then not only borrelia but a host of other pathogens will settle there.
Look into neural therapy. One of the basic treatments of neural therapy is to try to cancel such bad spots in the body. I had infection/ inflammation in my cesarian section cut for more than 2 years! Of course, hospital doctors say, it is not with infection, nor with inflammation: it is only a bit red.
Well, after my first neural therapy injections, the 2 year old 'scar' almost disappeared. It took me 3 injections during the next months to get it totally well, and a couple of months after, the scar virtually disappeared.
Dr. K thinks scars play great role in messing with your body.

This is interesting to learn and makes sense to me. I injured my knee and had two surgeries on it twenty years ago. It hurt occasionally from time to time over the years but it has hurt a lot more since getting Lyme.

Yes. Lyme/coinfections migrate to sites of injury, whether new or old.
