I had pain from my neck across my left shoulder blade area, left arm and hand. I don't think it was a muscle spasm...as it was like a 10/10 pain.
It all started one evening - the first of my lyme symptoms - sent me to the ER it was so awful.
Now - I don't have that kind of pain, I have a burning nerve pain...same area. Still horrible....but in a different way.
I had xray, then mri of my cervical spine - and nothing significant.
It was assumed I had a pinched nerve anyway.
I think it may be the Banwarth syndrome -that is a symptom off lyme.
It got better over the next few months...and then I started to get other symptoms...
I then thought ai had the pinched nerve PLUS lyme.
It was awhile later that I realized that the Banwarth syndrome was the start of my lyme symptoms...not in addition to them.
