I've been experiencing some weird joint pain in my fingers, not sure if this is Lyme related or not. It just started suddenly a few weeks back.

What do you mean by "weird" joint pain?
joint pain is a classic symptom of lyme.

I had joint pain in my fingers...really bad...pain and stiffness.

It would wake me in the middle of the night....and my right hand would be clenched and I'd have to use my other hand to pry my fingers apart....

i've had joint pain in my elbows, wrists, fingers, knees, shoulders.

Ditto. Joint pain, stiffness, swelling, nerve pain, tingling, spasms - all fairly common with Lyme. I know it's super unsettling in the fingers. sad

I use an essential oils blend, topical arnica oil, and CBD oil (internally or topically) when it flares up. Others have success with pain meds, body work, and other approaches. Good luck!

Heavy exercise seems to disturb borrelia burgdorferi, and the bacteria really like to get into muscles that aren't used as much. The infection in my arms and shoulders has been the most stubborn and hard to eliminate, but I got some in my hands too.

Can you describe your “weird” joint pain?
