tick bite on shoulder

[philamom]

The only time my daughter had a tick on her was in 2006. I couldn't recall where on her body or whether it was embedded or not, but I remembered taking her to the doctor for knee pain shortly after. So I picked up a copy of the office visit yesterday. It appears the tick bite was on her left shoulder and the following week she had pain behind her knees, mostly when bending. Can pain be in a different location from area of bite? It also says there was a small dot pinpoint where tick was removed (this is a week later) - so sounds like it was embedded?

Pain can appear anywhere after a tick bite and knee pain is one of the more common areas for pain.

 

If the tick had to be removed and wasn't able to just be brushed off, then it sounds to me like it was embedded.

Yeah, I couldn't recall if it was removed or brushed away but since there was a pinpoint a week later, I'm guessing it was embedded. It wasn't my daughter's normal doctor and no abxs were prescribed
