knee pain what to do?

hello everyone....i have had really bad knee pain and its getting worse. Does anyone know what i can do for this. I have heated it, iced it and took 800mg advil ....sometimes it gets so bad that the pain comes from the begining of my thigh to straight through my kneee. Its hurts to walk on it and now when i sleep i cant lay on it. should i contact my dr. or is this just something that i have to deal with...

i also havnt took my meds in a few days they keep making me sick...i am on 100mg of doxy?  do you think this has somthing to do with it?

thanks :0)

hello goodoldtimes.....yes i am seeing a Lyme Literate doctor...i am going to call him today. I didnt think that i could take it with food cause it says not to cause it wont absorb right in your system...and my dr said that he wanted to go easy with my with the doxy casue my lyme wasnt that bad but i feel like i need more. also did doxy make you tired and feel worse?

hi goodoldtimer,
No I am not aware of the Jarisch-herxheimer reaction, what is it? i am going to try to cut back on sugar and try not to drink my cofee everyday....it helps me tho get through the morrnings at work but it would probally be best to cut it out.

I have been on doxy for a lil over a month....i have not been consistant with it tho. i should probally be done with it cause i only had 60 pills and take it twice a day. But it just made me sick...i am going to eat a lil something with it now..

I am just wondering what everyone does for there joint pain....i heat it and ice it. I was going to get a knee brace but when i tried it on in the store it made my knee cap hurt more when i walked around....any sugestions
