The knee pains are new to me the past couple of days. So, I am bracing for what is to come of that. Bending them is what is bothering me so far; but not intolerable yet. Thank you to everyone who responded to my last thread about that, also. I appreciate the responses very deeply.
However, the ankle pains I have had off and on for the last several months; so I am used to that and so far the pains have been tolerable, but today something strange happened.
Man, I took a minimally wrong step today, I guess(was a normal step, but seemed like a wrong step from the pain, which confused me) on the right foot, and my ankle got a huge shooting pain. It felt like it was going to snap and break. There seemed no real rhyme or reason for the pain that much.
I am alright and everything, but that scared me today.
So, how does Lyme affect bones?? I know it affects joints~ but what about bones??
Has anyone actually broken a bone easily like that?? Just stepping the wrong way??
Thanks for the input again everyone, it is highly appreciated.

I don't think that's bone pain. I get it often, but not as bad as before treatment. I think our tendons and ligaments get loose and it's real easy to twist our ankles.
I've had prolotherapy for this and it helped.

If I am any example of how Lyme affects your bones, then I would say it can devastate the bones just like any other organ or tissue in the body.

I've been reading the book POX...Genius, Madness and the Mysteries of Syphilis. I am trying to tie them together. Has anyone else nocticed that when lyme came on the scene that syphilis seemed to become less of an issue? Haven't heard about it in the news or even of anyone getting it.
Anyway...in this book it speaks quite a bit about syphlitic bones...upon autopsy. This is syphilis untreated with antibiotics. I feel the continuous antibiotics have halted my spine deterioration and my muscles and ligaments also seemed to be much strengthened

If you are having deep bone pain you should know that the TBD ***most*** likely to be responsible for this is EHRLICHIOSIS/ ANAPLASMOSIS which affects the bone marrow and bones more than any other TBD!!! Ehrlichiosis can be seronegative even if acute.
Good News: I have *not* heard of people breaking bones like that with TBDs!*)!*)! SO walk away*)!*)!)! Best wishes, Sarah
