What Causes Knee Pain In A Child Suffering From Lymes Disease?
My 7 year old son was diagnosed with lymes disease in February. We treated him for it and he is still complaining of bilateral knee pain. His pediatrician said he has crepitis. Should I be worried that this might be a sign of Lymes. He took 2 weeks of antibiotics for it back in February.
