Over the last few years, I have an intermittent ankle and foot pain. It will sometimes get sooo bad that I can't put ANY weight on it. When I do get this pain, it usually starts at night. I usually have a little "tinge" of pain a day or so before, so I can kind of sense it coming. However, that next day the pain will be so bad that I can't bear weight. it will swell up and turn red, and I will have limited range of motion. I can remember one instance where it was so bad that if I didn't keep it elevated, it would throb horribly.
I have been to the doc for this 2 or 3 times. Each time, they told me it was tendonitis. I was wondering if anyone has had similar symptoms. I do want to point out that it has been close to 9 years since I had any treatment for lyme disease. I have been symptom free with maybe the possible exception of these foot problems if they are in fact causative somehow.

I also forgot to mention this... just as quickly as one of these episodes will come... it will disappear... it will be intense for like a day or so, then it will slowly just resolve itself like nothing had happen. and when I say the pain has been intense, I would compare a few of these episodes to the time I tore my ACL in my knee.

What you feel has been identified in my feet and lower legs as toxic heavy metals and parasites. No doubt about it. Since I am doing MMS after other antiparasitics, the problems are gradually becoming less and less. Sometimes an hour or two worse, then less again. Exactly as you describe it.
Per Dr. K. who put me on MMS, the feet are where the metals go because of specific weight/heavier than water - and that is the best place for parasites to hide, except that they can't go any further. And when I come with MMS, they really are trying to survive by all means possible and replicating!
I also have not had Lyme for many years, but am sure the parasites persist or were newly acquired somehow.
How do you feel on antiparasitics if you take them? How do you feel when you wake up in the morning?

I'm medication free... besides an occasional dose of ibuprofen when I have these episodes... I never take meds outside of that really. These episodes are infrequent... only several times a year. I'm not actively being treated for lyme as I said earlier.

lazerorca, I have not had Lyme in ten and more years. I never had the foot problem until I became sensitive to a Smart Meter and to EMF after a very stressful period in my life when my husband passed.
Be glad when you don't need anything.
Take care.

I came back today to check on this thread to see if there was some sort of link between past lyme and the problems I am having. I'm having one of these "episodes" right now. That is why I am here literally 8 years or so years after my last post. I'm a 29 year old male... I don't think I should be having medically unexplainable problems that keep me out of work. I came back here for helpful advice. This website helped me out immensely in the past.
