Has anyone else had this symptoms? If so, what helps? My butt is KILLING me! I had this a year ago as my very first symptom. It went away once I started abx. But ever since I started using the rife machine a couple of weeks ago, it has returned and it is very painful. Sitting hurts, standing hurts. When will this nightmare end???

I haven't had that symptom - does soaking in Epsom baths help at all?

What about magnesium spray? I haven't tried that (my pain is mostly nerve related - not muscle) but have read a few posts on it here.

Nothing is helping. I am sure its because i got reinfected somehow.... which is completely insane given how careful I've been. So I am back on doxy for a month along with Cowden herbs and rife. Hopefully it will take care of the new infection so i can go back to dealing with the other older infections.

I know this will sound crazy but thinking back did you ever injure your gluteal muscles? Even if it was as a kid on the playground. Did you ever fall off the monkey bars and land on your rear? Slide down stairs routinely to the point your tush hurt? A skiing accident where you landed really hard on your hip/butt?

When I was about 9 months or so into treating my right knee was giving me trouble (it still does 2 plus years later). It made no sense to me at all as my nerve issues are on my left side. It finally hit me that 15+ years earlier on a family vacation to a Dude ranch while getting on a horse my knee popped. I had to be taken into town to the hospital. I don't remember what the x-ray's showed but I was on crutches for well over a week. That minor injury-Lyme has gone in there and had a field day with that knee. It can be something that minor.
Did you ever get a shot in the butt that you had a bad reaction too? Anything that might have caused any trauma to the tissue in that area.

I had SI joint issues for many years as a runner. When I contracted Lyme and Co's (Bartonella and Babesia), I had horrible piriformis and glute pain. It felt like someone had take a sledgehammer to my backside. Really painful.

I think, in my case, it was Lyme/co's finding one of my areas of weakness/prior injury, which I know they're good at doing.

For me, it's my tail bone and sciatic all the way up to my butt cheeks. My hips too. They hurt pretty much all the time. I attribute to sitting at a desk with bad posture and now exacerbated by lyme. Epsom baths help. I also use Salonpas all the time, those help. Strecthing and moving helps the most. Working on the inflammation in general with detox and anti-inflammatory herbs - although I'm not great with the anti-inflammatory herbs.
