Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband and my dog both were bite by a lone star tick and had to be treated. I am wondering if I was also bit but have different symptoms. My muscels and joints are so painful over these past 2 years. I m 62, white, have had one hip replaced and am just wondering why my joints hurt so much. Hands, arms. legs and back. Any thoughts?
Some advice that I can give to you is: -Take anti-inflammatory drugs for the pain like Ibuprofen. -Use cold compresses to relief the pain. -Massage the area. -Stretching exercises can help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
