Scan Medical Insurance

For 3 months, I have had pain in my forearms & thighs, tingling and numbness in my hands, & knee joint pain?

It started 3 months ago when I noticed a mark on my leg and a circle around it. I automatically thought Lymes and went to my PCP. He gave me an antibiotic (Doxycycline) and I had Lyme's blood tests completed with Negative Results. Since then I have had terrible pain in my Forearms and Thighs. Recently, I began experiencing tingling and numbness in my hands upon waking and joint pain in my knees. I have had a Full Body Bone Scan and all the bloodwork you can think of and so far I am considered Healthy as a horse. I am having an EMG (muscle test) today, but would still like to hear any opinions or suggestions people might have as the pain is unbearable at times. Thank you so much for helping me!

1. hmm, ur condition sounds like mine a while back. i went to the doctor for joint pain and he said it was inflamed and all that jazz. so he gave me an antibiotic and well it turns out i was allergic to it and it cause the same exact symptoms as u. so maybe that antibiotic did the same for u? oh and by the way, heat pads somtimes takes the edge off the pain
2. has the doc considered fibromyalgia?
3. Has your doctor repeated the test for Lyme disease? Testing for Lyme when there are no symptoms will result in negative results. Now that you appear to have the symptoms of Lyme disease, this is the perfect time for more advanced testing. I'm not promoting any particular website, however I did find interesting information here that you may wish to discuss with your doctor: http://www.personalconsult.com/articles/summaryoflymediseasearticles.html I hope this helps in your quest to feel better.
