Hi! I am looking for an LLMD near me in Los Angeles, California.
My knee has been swelling up since October 2021, since then I've been in crutches, getting a wheelchair. Two months ago I thought to ask for a Lyme test and it came back positive (Western Blot). Primary Care Doctor did give me three months of Doxy, I've been on it for two months already, but they are at a loss of what to do with my knee, which continues to swell, and I continue to be unable to use it. All other symptoms have gone down except for my knee.
I'm only 28 and an avid hiker and biker, it's devastating to not be able to walk for going on 6 months now. Thank you for your help.
I have Medi-Cal Healthnet, would be great to find someone who can take my insurance, I am not working right now due to being on crutches and live alone. I would be willing to switch to LA Care, or straight Medi-Cal (if the LLMD can fill out an exemption form for me, we can switch to straight Med-Cal). So anyone who takes any of those insurances would be amazing. Thank you.
