Suggest Treatment For Lyme Disease With Stiffness In Hands

My son had Lyme disease @ 3 months ago and was treated with Doxycycline for 3 weeks. He also had Lyme disease 8 yrs. ago. He now has swelling of his right hand and wrist with stiffness and numbness and tingling at night. He has been put on 4 different antibiotics (not Doxycycline) with no relief of symptoms. These were given to treat a possible cellulitis thinking it was a wound from being pricked by a shrimp he was handling. There is no visible wound. He has no fever.
