Nerve Pain
Nerve pain can be experienced as a dull ache, throbbing sensation, or sharp pain in any body part. Symptoms may be mild or severe and may come and go. Nerve pain is not familiar with Lyme disease, but it can occur when the infection spreads to nerves that supply blood flow to muscles, skin, and other tissues.
For instance, Lyme disease can cause severe nerve pain when it affects the nerves that supply blood to the brain and spinal cord. This pain is most common in people with Lyme disease for several weeks or months before it’s diagnosed and treated. It can also occur in people with an advanced infection stage with Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria.
