Joint Pain, Started Having Contact With Ticks. Lyme Disease?
I have joint pain. Could it be lyme disease?
I did not notice any kind of rash. But the joint pain started in June when I had been outside and in contact with ticks, I remember brushing off a few at different times that month. The joint pain is mostly in my hands and wrists. Some days the pain bothers me, some days it is not there at all.

one musn't self diagnose as lyme is not a frequent illness. joint pains have variety of reasons and evaluation is possible with arthritis profile and consultation with a rheumatologist/orthopedician
