Sciatic/back pain due to Lyme??

I was d/g with Lyme about 5 weeks ago, & started treatment. Currently my worst symptom--I think it's a Lyme symptom--is my left lower back/sciatic nerve has been killing me for about 2+ weeks. I'm considering physical therapy, though I"m pretty sure it's going to go away in time. I've watched my hubby "pull" several muscles over the years living with Lyme, so I know this is most likely a symptom of Lyme. Also, another member had talked about Lyme affecting collagen.

I've tried stretching and it makes it worse--I get SO sore after stretching I'm near tears, & the pain keeps me up at night. It' s just that it's NOT going away! It's baffling to me, as I've exercised my whole adult life, & if I ever strained/pulled something, I'd ice it, stretch, & take a day off of working out, & it'd go away. Me & the hubby see our LLMD in a few days, I will ask her, but I'm just wondering if others have these mysterious "pulled" muscles that get worse with stretching...?

Thanks WWJD20 & springsjean for your posts.

My back pain is lessening some, but it "migrated" to my right leg!!

Jeesh, where will it end up next..?? Also, I had a pretty good day yesterday, so I got on my treadmill to walk, & my right ankle just exploded with pain as I was finishing my walking--like a bad sprain. But, within an hour or so after, the pain was mostly gone. springsjean, I've heard of arnica cream, but never really looked into it--I will now--thanks!
