I've been having numbness along right side of body mainly my face and arm. I've been checked out by neurologists and they couldn't find anything wrong. I'm in the process of finding a LLMD, haven't seen one yet. Have recently been tested for lyme and it was pos.

My real problem is the hamstring tendon at knee, lots of pain. I've injured my hamstring back in June and it's been giving me problems ever since. this is also around the same time that my lyme symptoms started. Since then i've been less mobile and my right leg has lost all kinds of muscle. I am now at the point where I can't walk more than a minute at a time without needing to sit down, basically in a wheel chair. Has anyone else experienced tendon problems?

Yes mine started in my achilles. ..and also wrist both where i had injurys...the wasting of muscles has been profound ..was excruciating last fall..the meat there is gone ..now notice it on arms and knees...i think it is either bartonella or motor neuron disfunction caused by borrelia and mycoplasma

Actually mine also started with very tight calf tendons. They were so tight I couldn't walk.

I've been trying to exercise but end up with no results.

I do think I may have bartonella, get these really strange rashes that look like cat scratches.

You haven't taken any fluoroquinolones, have you?

(levaquin, cipro, avelox)
