Hi, I have developed a new symptom that ONLY happens during the night when I am asleep. I'd say 5 out of 7 night this horrible pain in my left heel wakes me. It feels like someone has hammered away at my heel. It happens only in my left heel and it hurts badly.
Weirdest thing of all is that it only happens when I am asleep in the one foot never during the day.
I know burning soles in the AM are related to Bart, but that is not what I am feeling.
Anyone else with this painful problem, I have a feeling not

Hi,
Your mailbox is full. I tried sending a PM yesterday and it wouldn't go through. Then I wrote a long PM from your website and my stupid computer lost it while trying to send.
Anyway, I'll catch up with you soon.
The only time I had heel pain was on quinolones, which of course developed into Achilles tendon problems. I have the sore soles from Bart but never heel pain unrelated to the antibiotics.
Jill

This was one of my first symptoms over 10 years ago. It is the only one that has pretty much resolved with treatment.
It was so bad at times I could only walk on my toes. It should get better with treatment.

I know a lot of fibro patients (many of whom are undiagnosed lyme in my opinion) have plantar fasciitis.
I've had heel pain for years and I recall some discussions here about heel pain and cracks in the heels. Mine bothers me more when I walk.
At one point both heels became hard and very numb - I couldn't feel them which made it hard to walk and stay balanced. I also developed VERY deep cracks in my right heel.
If you don't want to hear about rife or muscle testing, skip this part.
Prior to starting abx I used the rife machine and muscle testing and had my right heel almost completely healed and even the numbness went away. Muscle testing kept showing that I had a staph infection which I feel may have been the root cause of my heel problem.
I recently started omnicef and I've had a lot of tingling and stabbing sensations deep in my heels along with an itching feeling. Feels like it is healing deep in the tissues.
I hesitated to mention muscle testing for fear of starting a war that would end in this post being deleted but that is truly what worked for me.

I opened your posting because just today for no apparent reason my left heel has begun to hurt. I really couldn't figure out why but then again I stopped meds about a month ago. Thanks for posting. I'd never heard of anyone with this symptom so I didn't even think about it being lyme or one of the coinfections. I should have known better.

Thanks everyone - I did think of plantar fasciitis, but would it just start of the blue like that? I will study it further. Thanks.
Terry - I have been wanting to get muscle testing but no one within 200 miles of me that is reliable in it. Staph infection blows my mind...my son had it recently and he got well just great on Doxy. Well I am starting Doxy next, it kills Staph, so maybe it is Staph....I have felt worse all over really the last month or two. Thanks for mentioning this.
Lymeindunkirk - I have recently gone down in dosage - maybe it is related.
I have been in treatment 19 months and at the very beginning use to get a hot flash through my right foot that resolved with treatment.
I am going to be switching abx in the next day or two, we will see if that helps any, I hope so, it really hurts and is no fun to awake to!
Thank you again for responses....thanks Jill I will delete some messages so you can pm me.
