Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was diagnosed with lyme last year. Was on amoxicillion for 3 weeks, then had 3 weeks of doxi. Ever since being diagnosed I have joint pain. Almost all my larger joints hurt daily ( thumbs wrists elbows knees ect) what should I do? And what type of doctor do I go to?
I think You may suffer from a chronic Lyme disease. Some patients after treatment with antibiotics have symptoms that last months to years. This condition is called Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (chronic Lyme disease) and can include fatigue, joint and muscle pain. The reason of chronic Lyme disease is unknown. In my opinion You should contact Your primary care doctor and let him or her check you. Treatment for chronic Lyme disease is often focused on reducing pain and discomfort cause by symptoms like: low-dose antidepressants, sleeping pills, exercise, stress reduction. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
