Swollen or stiff joints
Sporadic stiffness and pain in joints are other early symptoms of a Lyme condition. These parts could be inflamed, swollen, painful, and warm when touching. This leads to a limited degree of motion in a few large joints. Pain, which can be fleeting or severe, might move around and hurt other areas such as knees, heels, or neck. In some cases, you might also have bursitis, thin cushions between tissues and bones. While many people usually attribute these issues to sports, genetics, or age, Lyme should also be added to the list. And keep in mind to consult your doctor or health care provider as soon as possible to get the right treatment. [5]
