Muscle Pain vs Joint Pain
3whiteroses
I have been suffering with muscle pain, and weakness. Not to much pain in my joints.

I see a lot of people complain of joint pain with Lyme.

Please tell me if you have muscle or joint pain or both. I worry that my muscles seems to be taking a beating.

I actually have a lot more muscle pain than joint pain. I DO have joint pain, but I notice the muscles in my leg hurting very bad all day long. I also have a lot of muscle weakness in my arms.

Hope that helps!

Same here!
With Him we "live" no matter the circumstances. At His feet peace of mind can be found. Peace that passes all understanding is my quest now and forever.

"The LORD bless you and keep you;the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

Mostly muscle pain for me. I'm with honey that my hips will ache big time and shoulders sometimes, but mostly its back and leg muscles that feel the worst.

What a great question! I had been wondering this myself...why I seem different from everyone else. I have no joint pain...unless you want to count the joint pain I've done to myself from knee injuries and cracking my knuckles. Smile I have bad muscle pain though. This is another symptom I've had for a long time but never thought anything was wrong. It's mostly in my back and neck. When I was herxing (I think) when I started meds, I had the most horrible muscle weakness. It hurt to raise an arm or leg...felt like I had weights on me.

I have a lot of muscle pain too, more muscle that joint. I have lost a lot of muscle mass, I used to have "big guns" lol...Now I have a hard time doing simple things or lifting stuff.

I have lost around 25 pounds and some was fat...but a lot of muscle too.

Went from a sz 12 to a sz 6, that's the only postive thing about this crappy Lyme.

Thanks for the responses...I just get worried that maybe I have ALS...I know it sound ridiculous, but the pain and weakness are so bad at times I start thinking the worst.

I can't believe that this conversation exists. I thought I was the only one that was suffering from the muscle pain. My right arm is the worst and my left hip. Everyone always talks about "joint pain" with the Lyme and it appears that alot of us have Muscle pain. My fingers get stiff like the skin is being stretched but it doesn't appear to be in the joints. Thanks for broaching this subject.
