Nerve Pain
As Lyme disease progresses without treatment, neurological symptoms can arise. Bell's palsy is one response to the infection. Patients can also experience pain, numbness and weakness in the joints from an untreated tick bite.
Other advanced signs of Lyme disease include poor coordination and a stiff neck. Additionally, meningitis is a secondary condition that may develop, resulting from the fever. With any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical care.5‘Lyme Disease Neuropathy: Symptoms & Treatment: Foundation for PN.’ The Foundation For Peripheral Neuropathy, 19 Apr. 2021, www.foundationforpn.org/what-is-peripheral-neuropathy/causes/inflammatory-neuropathy/lyme-disease/
