Lyme Disease Support Group

The backside/side of my leg really bothers me like a little pulsating pain. Very similar to the one in my bicep at the beginning of lyme. I FEEL like if it were a blood clot that is what it would feel like....but could it be just another place my bugs were hiding and are now dying off with my new med and detox?

FREAKING out as usual!

Thanks!

Beth

here's what my home nurse taught me after getting home from hospital after my left leg hip replacement.

something definitely was wrong with my knee to my foot area.

she came late at night, 1st time to see me BTW, and checked this out for a blot clot.

she said for me to have my foot straight out, then PUSH MY TOES IN, if there is significant pain on back side of leg; IT'S A BLOOD CLOT.

try this out on both feet to feel the difference ok.

yes, i had a blood clot; they tried using an ultrasound on me by pushing in my groin area going down my leg.

TOLD THEM TOO STOP; TOO PAINFUL! felt like they were breaking every bone going down. did i know how serious this way.

you betcha, my FIL died from a blood clot going from his leg to heart after a RR train accident before we got married.

I hope this isn't a clot, and you should do Betty's test, but I have experienced the same thing! Hope you are feeling better!

*hugs*

Thanks for all of the support!

It can also be muscle & nerve inflammation from the bacteria.

I'm so glad you don't have blood clots. I have a couple friends that got them from oral contraceptives

I thought FOR SURE it was blood clot or a cyst or maybe even a tumor or something because it sometimes hurts that bad. I sure wish doctors would take us more seriously!
