My podiatrist used "conservative" as basically anything non-surgical. I've done PT, steroid injections, custom orthotics, stretching exercises....

People who can't rely on facts and evidence instead rely on insults....
Stop trying to scare people with these bogus claims when they are already going through the stress of dealing with Lyme....
Thank you both!...
Does the foot pain I describe sound like yours? What antibiotics did you take? Thanks!...
I've posted my story before, but the quick version is that back in August of 2019 I had 48-72 hours where I had a constant burning sensation in both feet and when that subsided, I had foot pain and...
Thank you! Has anyone experienced this same thing?...
Over the past year I've noticed my GSV has puffed out, both legs but more on my right ankle than left. The one on the right ankle sometimes gives me mild pain. Is this a weird Lyme/Bart thing and, if...
Thank you for your reply! I have a clinical diagnosis of Lyme/Bart, and it seems Bart is my main issue (my LLMD doesn't think my Lyme ia active)...

Is it true 41 alone is indicative of Lyme?...
How did your body respond to it? I've read people can really struggle on it....

Galaxy or IGeneX? My LLMD said he usually goes the IGeneX route but is willing to do whatever....
Mixed reviews on his knowledge or other things (cost, bedside manner, etc)? I've followed his site information quite a bit....

Who are the best LLMDs to follow? Has anyone been successful following the advice of Marty Ross, Stephen Buhner, or Bill Rawls?...
Thank you!...
Has anyone gotten dermal filler treatments to help with loss of muscle/collagen in the feet?...
Where/how do you measure? I think the veins have enlarged, but who knows....
For those who have gotten better or close, how long did it take? I've been treating with ABX since March and while my wife thinks I've made progress it doesn't feel like enough to me. Still foot pain...
I haven't done anything beyond regular lab testing, which all comes back negative....
Interesting...so it goes away as the day goes on? Was it ever constant?...
A clinical one but not lab-confirmed....
Thank you for the reply! There isn't any pain when I'm sitting down or when they are touched - no swelling that I've noticed, but the veins on the insides of my feet and both inner ankles seem...
Hi All, A year ago, I had really bad pain on the soles of my feet when walking, back pain, strong fatigue, chest pains, and paresthesia in my legs. I've been treating since March - first...

Thank you everyone! I don't believe my skin is thinning out or muscles are getting smaller, but I will try to measure to be sure. @BlueRidgeDave - may I ask how you've been with your feet/ankles...
Thank you! I saw a vascular specialist last week who downplayed everything I had going but I was persistent so I have a veinous ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday. Is that a test you had done?...
I've noticed a vein on each inner ankle that has seemed to grow over the past year, with some mild, intermittent pain near each of them as I've been dealing with suspected Bartonella/Babesia. I'm on...
OK cool thank you, I am on both now...
I have been reading up on treating Bartonella with antibiotics recently one of the better articles i came across was a video presentation by Dr Burrascano ( of the Lyme guidelines fame ) he favors...

How long did you treat Bart to get to that point?...
I'm on one of MR's Tier 1 treatments for Bart - have others had success following his guidelines?...
I had clinical diagnosis for both but I'm more confident in the Bart than I am Babs. I've wondered if Bart is the primary infection I'm dealing with now....
The night sweats is a symptom I've never actually had. My primary one's are upper back pain, foot pain when walking, intermittent palpitations, fatigue, heartburn, and parasthesias around my upper...
Same to you! What are your worst symptoms? Do you feel better than when you started? I do think I've improved a bit....
