Is this common for lyme? It's getting unbearable. It pulses and throbs, I assume it is the joint. I just can't take this. I'm seriously considering daily ibuprofen. Any advice? How frequent is this for people?
What do you all do for this type if pain? Sometimes I just don't know how I get up and go to work every week.

Bursitis?
Things to reduce the inflammation: Magnesium Fish oil Berberine Systemic enzymes, like Wobenzym PEMF, pulsed electromagnetic field energy therapy
Daily ibuprofen can lead to awful gastritis.

My first symptoms of lyme were hip bursitis. Can you pin point where on your hip the pain is? Have you had any xrays, scans etc to rule out other issues?
Daily motrin in the long run will harm your stomach which will result in more problems. Lidoderm patches or flector patches applied to the painful area may help. These require an RX. Changing your diet may help as well. For me no gluten, starch, dairy, soy or grains made a huge difference.

If it is bursitis in the trochanteric area where hip joins outer thigh, what has helped me most has been standing flat against a wall (naked!) with a tennis ball just to the side of the spine.
Then,starting just below waist level, rolling the ball along the wall towards the side of the hip several times, then placing the ball an inch or so below the starting place and do the same as before. Again, placing the ball lower than that and rolling it to the hip.
I do the same on the other side of the spine to maintain balance, even though the bursitis was almost entirely one-sided.
I do believe that the Lyme directly or indirectly caused the bursitis, but it seems to have gone and I think doing this morning and night (and whenever you are limping from the pain) has treated it by stretching what I think is known as the iliotibial band. I get no more sciatica either now.

I had some hip pain when sleeping but I do not have Lyme.
I was doing two things at the same times one or the other got rid of it.
I started sleeping on a grounding mat. The other was treating for Mycoplasma pneumonia using frequency treatments.
There are several pathogens that can cause joint pain, and Lyme is likely in your case, but it can be other pathogens also.
