LYME DISEASE OR CANCER...PLZ HELP DRS DONT KNOW?

  • went to a specialist after months of severe neck pain...and on the Mri it showed a white lump on my neck. The dr didn't seem concerned and had me have a ct scan. He said it was a benign hemangioma and nothing to worry about. This lump has been killing me, feeling like it was twisting my neck, last night I was up till 7:30 am. I also developed chest pain..and pain in my left side, could that be the spleen? I don't know what the problem is, and the dr's don't have a clue either...any ideas? Could this be cancer? Aren't malignant tumors not painful and benign ones painful? If it isn't cancer...then what?? I had lyme disease last year but was treated...is it possible I wasn't on medication long enough? The tick bite has gotten red again...from last year?? Or is this just a coincidence? I also have severe burning on my left side, by the ribs..and what I assume is the spleen looks enlarged. I have joint pain, and my back burns so much that I thought I had a heating pad on lol...my mom said that means inflamation of the kidneys??? Is this cancer? Lyme disease? IDK I had lyme disease last year, but was treated. I have joint pain,and the bite where the tick bit turns red on occasional days, but that was last year? I have had some headaches and hearing loss...LYME DISEASE?

In many many cases, the "standard" treatment for Lyme disease is not enough to do the job. Even if initial symptoms clear up, the spirochete can hide in the body and come out again later, perhaps in a different form. The fact that you previously had Lyme disease raises the suspicion that your current problems might be Lyme-related. There are also other diseases, called co-infections, that you can get from the same tick bite that gives you Lyme. It might be one of these untreated co-infections that's causing your current problems. All of the symptoms you describe might reasonably be related to tick-borne infections of some kind. You need to be seen by someone who understands the implications of long-term tick-borne disease in its many forms. Recommend you find a doctor affiliated with ILADS (see link below). Also recommend you read the material on the following websites.
