Hi

Battling spine pain. Can lyme cause this? PT is not working. Thanks.

Yes. On two occasions I had 'nerve/spinal' pain that was so bad in my back I was unable to walk temporarily. I refer to it as nerve/spinal pain because my back wasn't really hurting in a typical way and it was more generalized pain in my spine. I had troubling even sitting down and needed to be flat on my back. I've also had other back pain that included ongoing low back, neck and shoulders that I think was also from Lyme. All of my back pain is currently resolved but probably the most painful when I was experiencing a herx with high fever.

I should add that I suffer from multiple chronic infections so its hard to say if the spinal pain was specifically Lyme. Whatever it was.... virus or bacterial it felt like it was in my spine perhaps spinal fluid or nerves.
