"Another classic trait of Lyme disease is the migratory nature of the pain. The muscle and joint pain, as well as the tingling, numbness and burning sensations often tend to come and go and move around the body. For example, one day the joint pain might be in the knees and a few days later it may be affecting another nerve." Horowitz
"One of the defining features of Lyme pain is that it’s migratory. This distinguishes it from, say, the pain of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), which is more symmetrical (both knees instead of just one), and which doesn’t tend to move around like Lyme pain."
"Pain in any location can be dull and ache or be sharp and shooting. It is common for pain in Lyme arthritis to migrate from one joint to another, so one day pain may be in a knee and in the neck the following day."
"Pain may move around. Sometimes your knees may hurt, whereas other times it’s your neck or your heels."
"Early in the illness, patients may experience migratory musculoskeletal pain in joints, bursae, tendons, muscle, or bone in one or a few locations at a time, frequently lasting only hours or days in a given location."
"That's because roughly half of patients with untreated or chronic Lyme experience intermittent episodes of arthritis, resulting in temporary pain and stiffness that can migrate around the body."
