Having Lyme + injuries

How many of us here who have lyme + co infections also have injuries?  I have a shoulder repair on my left shoulder and dislocated my right shoulder in college a few times.  It drives me absolutely mad that I was so stupid and careless when I was younger, like having lyme wasn't enough?  Sorry for the negative post, but this is something that is always on my mind and I know this is a place I can come and vent.  I was at the chiropractor for an initial visit, when I started to list all of the stuff that's wrong, lyme symptoms and than injuries, it made me sound like I was a huge mess and made me depresIsed.  A 30 year old shouldn't have all these issues. I know people who are active have injuries here and there, and accidents do happen, but I wish I wasn't so stupid and careless years ago I wouldn't have had these issues.

Anyone else think about this stuff or am I just crazy?

Wish I didn't do a lot of things! Broke my foot years ago and now that is where the problem with the Lyme started! Now I can't walk without an aid. I did have fun doing it though,lol! (Have to say...alot of regrets had nothing to do with injuries, but I am considerably older then you!) Lol! I know I feel like a whiner have the time and never thought I'd be in this boat.

I have the same problem.
Before Lyme I was healthy, very active and not sedentary at all, I was in a volleyball team and had a hectic lifestyle. It is so hard for me to accept the fact that I can't do many things. And that my condition is getting worse.
As I was involved in sport, you can imagine how much injuries I had, but they all passed in a normal way and in reasonable amount of time.
Now I have injuries that do not want to heal and I am afraid if they will ever go away. I am really depressed. E.g. I sprained my ankle in few months ago and it still hurts me. I can't walk normaly let alone run. I am devastated. My orthopedist sent me to MRI because it doesn't heal for such a long time. And MRI showed bone bruise, free liquid, and inflammed tendons. And he said it is not normal to have these things since the sprain was so long ago. Also, he said he cannot help me, since my body was reacting bad to physical therapy. I do not know what to do now...

Blueberrymuffin (and anyone else) ice is still your friend. Because it was an old injury lyme loves to hang out there. It thinks "ah ha, a weak spot to reside!" Lyme causes inflammation. Icing is your best weapon. I have tried most everything else and I always go back to ice.

Make sure you do not put the ice directly on your skin. Wrap it in a towel so you don't burn your skin with the ice. Our sense of hot and cold also changes with lyme and sometimes we can't tell that we are hurting ourselves.

I have also used it on my head pain with results. Not a total elimination but some much needed diminished pain.

Thanks a lot. Does it mean that Lyme bacteria enters in those places there injuries were? I use ice a lot and it gives temorary relief. I heard that betonite clay is good for pain caused by toxins that Lyme produces. Do you think it could be helpful with old injuries?

Love bentonite clay. I put some in my bath too. I do believe it helps pull out toxins.
