Post-bite joint-pain log — what counts

Track new joint swelling or pain (especially knees) for 60 days; Lyme arthritis is a late sign and benefits from early recognition.

Steps

schema.org/HowTo
  1. 01
    Note any new joint pain, swelling, or stiffness in a daily log.
  2. 02
    Lyme classically affects large joints, with the knee the most common.
  3. 03
    Pain that migrates between joints over days is also typical.
  4. 04
    Document swelling with photos and a tape-measure circumference.
  5. 05
    Mechanical aches from a single workout do not count; persistent or asymmetric joint swelling does.
  6. 06
    Bring the log to a clinician for evaluation; treatment usually adds another doxycycline course.
