I am hoping someone can help, quick story, diagnosed 3 years ago with lyme disease, after seeing many doctors,+lyme tider on the first shot, i was lucky, treatment was delayed due to finding a diagnosis, once it was diagnosed, i was treated for about a year with abx, it took some time, but finally started feeling better. Here I am 2 years later, diagnosed with arthritis in both hips, pelvis, knee, I am convinced this is related to my lyme disease, because I am 41 years old, active, not overweight. What do you think?

Sorry about this news. Since discovering Lyme arthritis in the 1970s, very little has been done to detect and prevent it. Here's one of many topics on this sad issue that may be helpful to you:

Hi CMiller,
I am also R/A postitive. I have been in lyme treatment nearly 2 years. I was bit 8 years ago.
I have just tested postitive for an infection called proteus mirabilis. Their are some articles that relate R/A to this infection. It appears to be resistant to alot of antibiotics. I have been put on Cipro.
I am just hanging in their. Be good to you. Much Love, Roz

arthitis in the hips and knees are classic signs of lyme disease.
Just to be sure, you can ask the docs to run rhumatiod blood tests.
Ask the doctors what they think is causing the arthritis. If they can't come up with an answer, I would consider going to see a LLMD

I'd get back on abx ASAP--sounds like a relapse.
