I have had this pain in the back on my thigh

starting and the middle part and going down

about an inch from the crease behind my knee it

started out feeling liek a bruise but there is

not a mark there. When i rub my hand arcross it

I feel knots and they feel like hot pokers, it

is not getting any better. I went to the doctor

they did a sonogram to rule any kind of blood

clot and I asked the tech if it was a lymph node

and she said she didnt see any swallon lymph

nodes. Im wondering what this could be. When I

rub it it makes it worse. Its been there for over

three weeks. ANyone know what this might be and

and how to treat it???? it almost feels like a

charlie horse with a hot burning poker....Ive

tried drinking lots of water and im on a

supplement that thins my blood.

fliariasis....

Filarial Worms is a possibility since Willy Burgdorfer found them in the ticks he dissected.

Hi,

I have had swollen lymph nodes thru out my body. In my case I am dealing with parasites.

They really can effect your lymph and vascular system.

For your own health, I would keep an open mind. Inflammation could set in next with your leg.

You way want to google "ganglion" and "baker's cyst" and get a clue. Baker's cysts easily happen behind the knee. My son had a baker's cyst years ago - it's easily fixed - and has nothing to do with Lyme. He is heading for middle age and has never had another problem, much less knee problem. And never had Lyme!

Take care.

Cyst's are linked to parasites.

For someone who has been dx with Lyme & co, the connection to parasites would be something to be considered.

A bakers cyst can be linked to arthritis. If it is hot that could indicate inflammation in the knee.

My husband had painful nodules in his legs that his LLMD attributed to Bartonella infection.

FYI, your initial guess about it being a lymph node seems a plausible possibility, too. Although the majority of our palpable lymph nodes are in our neck, axillary, and inguinal regions, there is a lymph node behind the knee known as the popliteal node.

During the course of my Lyme treatment, I would sometimes get strong stabbing pains in lymph nodes in my neck and armpit. As I got better, the pains got less frequent.

It was reassuring to me when I once asked my LLMD about it, and he said "OH yeah, that used to happen to me, too!" (He is also a former Lyme patient.)
