Does lyme/Bartonella cause a stiff lower back?

Yes it's a symptom. Pretty much any part of your body can receive this symptom. I thought I was going crazy because almost every day a new muscle or part of my body would hurt and I would try to remeber what I did wrong. For me it's usually my lower back, hips or legs. Sometimes I get chest pains that radiate into my arms as well. Read the new to lyme thread and try some detox baths and magnesium supplements.

I wonder if I should go see a chirpractor? Do you guys recommend that? This back pain is weird.. it's not really pain... It's like its stiff but I can move it around normally.. Very strange... Feels better when I stretch and stuff.. Worse when I'm sitting in a chair.

Just make sure you get a ball that won't burst, if you decide to. It does feel good to stretch out your back on one.
