Lyme Disease can wreak havoc on your muscles, joints and other soft tissues i.e., fascia, tendons and ligaments. Unknowingly, these tissues develop inflammation that cause pain which interferes with your daily activities and/or sleep. Sometimes the pain moves from one body part to another within days or even minutes. This can leave you exhausted and depressed. Patients find themselves treating the pain with over the counter medications such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol). All of those medications may offer short term relief, but we know that long term use is deleterious to our stomach, liver and kidneys.
