A friend of mine recently was diagnosed with LD. She had been taking Clindamycin for a finger infection, so she increased the dose until able to get an appointment with a LLMD.

The Clinda has helped a lot of her symptoms.

However, prior to diagnosis, she developed a "lump" near her knee. It continued to grow and spread. She had an excision. The path report was "lipoma".

This lump and the knee area remain painful and very swollen, with the swelling now going into the lower leg. She is very frightened.

Has anyone experienced this? Is this Lyme-related?

Thank you!
