bronxmom2 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Does anyone know if an infection (besides meningitis) can cause chronic neck pain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyIowa Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 My 8 yo son has chronic back pain. We tested positive for Lyme and his LLMD said that was a symptom of the infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyD Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I had chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain for years until I started treatment for Lyme. Have not had it in months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpotter Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 It can be a symptom of erlichiosis. My DS has had terrible neck and back pain, then he tested positive for earlichiosis, and it was just one of those "no duh" moments when I looked up the symptoms (several other symptoms, too.) He also gets neck pain when his strep is flaring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcalmom Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi Bronxmom, my best friend's son had neck pain on and off for months before getting dx with arthritis. I know you are asking about infection, and this isn't infection (well, actually there are some theories that RA is triggered by infection, and it is yet another form of an autoimmune disorder which seems we all have more than our fair share of in the family tree) but, you might want to check into it, as treating it earlier rather than later is helpful. http://www.everydayhealth.com/neck-pain/neck-pain-arthritis.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
