I have it from my neck, through my shoulder, through my elbow, and sometimes to my hand. I
also have it start in my hips...and go all of the way to the top of my foot. All MRI's
are 'fine'. Does anyone else have radiating pain??

Radiculopathy is a red flag for Lyme Disease.
I have it radiating from a bone spur at C-6 and C-7 in my cervical spine. It radiates to my shoulder bone in my back, where it hurts so much I can't breathe, then down my left arm, which goes numb.
Physical Therapy helped immensely, and I still do the exercises they taught me 3 X weekly. If I don't do them, it starts to come back.

I have radiating pain. Mine is horrible in my neck.
Then in my forearms/wrists/hands. Mine is a deep throbbing pain.
In my neck, it's far too hard to explain and it is my biggest complaint. It is HORRIBLE.
I have it in my lower back when I lay down, but I've had this before I contracted Lyme (at least when I think I got it!). Same with horrible pelvic pain, my ovaries throb, but I've been scanned SO many times and tested for tumor markers and everything is perfect. I've had that longggg before I *think* I got Lyme as well.
Who the heck knows when I got it. I think I know and since I don't have an IGG response, it would make sense that I got it when I think I got it, Dec/Jan in good ole sunny FL.

Yes, this (radiating pain) was one of the many symptoms from Lyme- your description sounds very much in line with what I experienced. I got surprisingly little relief from standard painkillers. Ultimately, as I got better and better, these symptoms subsided. They went up and down in-between, though- especially after I started a new antibiotics combi, very likely often as a result of "herxheimer reactions". Pay attention to everything you do, and read lots on Lymenet, etc. My heart is with you! DaveS
