Severe low back pain!

What do you guys attribute this to?

I believe it's a herx for me.

It's brutal.

Inflammation in the lower back, anus, and left testicle. All seemed tied together.

I think the only recourse is to back off until it improves?

The pudendal nerve runs through the sacrum, anus, and testicles. It makes sense that those areas would all be hurting severely at once if the pudendal nerve is being irritated or compressed. I know I mentioned this before when you first posted about this ailment.

If you search for "pudendal neuralgia" on this forum, you will find some interesting posts. Here's one that might be helpful: https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=4266780

Thanks guys!

Both responses were very helpful.

Looks like I need to take a break and let things calm down.

Idk why that's so hard for me to do.

It’s hard to do because we just want this disease to go away!
Hang in there!

I haven't taken anything since yesterday am. Theke back pain is a little better, testicular and anus pain not much. Shin bone pain and all other herx symptoms still flaring, need to continue the break. I can do this!

I just want to say thank you for all of the support here guys.

It keeps me going through this dark time.

I will say that the testicular and anal pain do seem tied to the low back pain and even bladder pain. The whole area gets extremely irritated and I'm assuming it's toxicity even tho I'm detoxing like crazy. This is so frustrating.

You are taking mepron and zithromax?

Muscle pain (including lower back) is usually borrelia die off rather than bart or babs. Maybe try taking something that will just put borrelia into a dormant state without killing it while you treat bart/babs. If azithromycin isn't doing this, perhaps amoxicillin or minocycline?

The problem with delaying borrelia treatment like this is that it will form biofilm and make it harder to kill later, but it's what I had to do since I couldn't tolerate the herx. I primarily treated bartonella for about a year, then when that was gone I went back to treating borrelia, which took another year. I'm not herxing much now, so I think I've almost gotten rid of the borrelia infection.

Often when I got headaches, it was just salt loss from detoxing messing with my blood pressure. Maybe consider adrenal support or electrolyte supplements?

I did at one point get severe back pain from herxing. My back muscles were aching, but then I stood up too fast and injured something and then it majorly hurt. It seemed to be just muscle damage and eventually healed.

Be careful when you're herxing like this, as you can easily cause further injury. I also fell when my leg muscles were too weak, and ended up with bad bruises.
