joint damage due to lyme?

There is another tick-borne infection that causes joint erosion. My fingers & toes are twisting & quite painful because of this.

Here are a few sites that were shared with me;

to diagnose there are overlapping but varying criteria

for rheumatoid: http://www.webmd.com/rheumatoid-arthritis/guide/diagnosing-ra

for psoriatic arth. http://www.psoriasis.org/netcommunity/learn_psadiagnosis

septic arth ( from INFECTION) http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/236299-diagnosis

There is a lot more info out there - try 'googling' Lyme Arthritis - you'll be surprised how much it will bring up!!

Hope this helps ~
