Has anyone experienced bone crushing pains in both their legs (predominantly below the knee but also in the thighs) and a twisting sensation/pain in both knee caps? My physical therapist said it sounded like nerve pain and the only advice he could give me was to rest. I go to my first appointment with Dr. W. near Philly in two days so I will ask her about it, but I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this? It has been over two weeks since it started this time. Last time I had it though it lasted for over a month and was accompanied by weakness. I had to use a wheelchair for the past week while at the beach, but I really don't know what else to do. Any advice? I am also having pain on the tops of both feet (but not the bottoms) and extreme itching on the arch of my right foot, but I am not sure if the last two things are directly related, since they started about a week and half after the other pains.

So sorry. Wish I could help.

A lot of Lyme patients have knee pain.

Leg pain can be attributed to a number of things. Are you having muscle cramps?

Muscle cramps can sometimes be relieved by magnesium and/or potassium. Make sure you are taking some kind of magnesium.

Bartonella can also cause pain and weakness in the legs.

I recommend you (a) take warm--not hot--baths, and add Epsom salt and Hydrogen Peroxide (b) take Curcumin, or turmeric extracts, throughout the day.

Start taking a high quality fish oil.

Stop wheat, sugar, and dairy. These are foods that produce inflammation.

Start stretching your muscles, as well as your knees.

Buy ginger root, and make a tea out of it. Drink the tea, and also make compresses out of it, that you can then apply to painful areas.

You should probably take Magnesium Malate for pain, as well as some other form of Magnesium for cramps and other issues.

Hopefully, you will get other answers, and folks can tell you more about what's going on in your knees, etc.
