Is There Another Test For Lyme Diseases As Elisa Lyme Test Came Negative?
I am exhibiting symptoms of what I have read about Lyme Disease. I have knee joint cartilage deterioration (severe chondromalasia) and have now developed neuro symptoms within the past 6 months; parasthesia and neuralgia which mainly includes tingling and burning in back, thighs, feet and fingers. My neurologist did a nerve conduction test which found nothing and has started me on low dose elavil. My GP did an Elisa Lyme test and it came back negative, but from my researching I have come to realize the inaccuracy of the Lyme tests in Canada. Any suggestions/recommendations?

In my opinion you need a ct scan on your lumber vertebra for possible spondylosis or multiple discs
which manifest usually after knee problem and long period of low or no use
i do not think it us lyme disease
Good Luck
