hip/joint pain that causes falling

My husband was hospitalized over the summer and told he had stage 3 disseminated lyme disease, still waiting on bloodwork from LLMD. He did a month of doxycycline & was feeling great, went back to work for a week and almost over night was right back where he started. He's pulsing antibiotics and was told he likely has Babesiosis. He has had joint pains all along but now his hip is locking up causing him to fall over. He takes fish oils, and CBD oil plus going to PT twice a week already. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows what else could help him?
Thanks!

I agree w/ Girlie.

Hip joint pain was one of my primary Lyme sx and I had all sorts of problems sitting, walking, lying down. Sometimes the hip would lock up, and when I could walk I would walk with my hips at an angle because it hurt less. Weird, wild stuff.

I think he'll probably do well if he continues the abx regimen for awhile longer. My Lyme-knowledgeable neuro suggested that most neuro sx are from inflammation so he might also try anti-inflammatories like japanese knotweed and turmeric. And as Girlie mentioned - detoxing is key. Also, be sure to protect his gut health.

Thank you guys! He is taking probiotics & eating clean but we will have to look more into detoxing! It took almost 7mo to get a diagnosis, & we kept telling each other it would be easier once we knew what was wrong...it's so hard to find current information & theres so many different aspects of this disease we had no idea!
