Well it might have been a tick bite but I really have no evidence since the Lyme disease test came back negative. Thanks for your response it makes me think that perhaps that Lyme test was inaccurate or the Lyme disease was undetectable at that point.

Thanks for your response. I began the antibiotics because I had what my doc thought was a spider bite but I got a rash, which wasn't completely around the bite. So I started on antibiotics as a precaution. I also had a Lyme test about 15 years ago but it was negative. Thanks again.

I had been on antibiotics for 10 days and after the third day my fibro pain was almost nonexistent. After I had taken all the antibiotics my pain returned after two days. Has anyone else had this happen and if so do you have any reason as to why?

Before I was diagnosed with FMS I had symptoms very similar to those you are describing. I was diagnosed with costochondritis and still have pain in that area but at least now I know it is not a heart attack :) . I agree with stretching as being one of the most effective therapies I have tried...

I am so sorry you are having these issues with your legs. I had a total knee replacement and while the knee surgery went very well, I now have pain in my calf that is unrelenting. I don't know if it will help you, but I have tried some things that have helped. Massage, anti-inflammatory...

Thank you for the message. I will certainly abide by and appreciate the rules for this forum.
