A member asked:
Please explain if it is possible for a person with lyme disease to have symmetrical joint pain on both sides?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Generalized aching is a symptom of primary lyme disease. However, swelling of multiple joints is not. If the small joints (hands and feet) are involved it is virtually never going to be lyme disease.
