4. Your muscle pain could be Lyme disease
As we’ve mentioned before, muscle pain can root from a bacterial infection, too. A single bite of a black-legged tick could transmit the bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi. The main sign of Lyme disease is the hallmark bullseye-like rash, but, sadly, this type of rash doesn’t show up in all patients.
Other early symptoms include a flu-like fever, stiff neck, aches, and tiredness. If you experience any of these, especially when you’ve been exploring outdoor places like forests, and national parks, talk to your doctor as soon as possible. Maybe you’ve been bitten by a tick, and your muscle pain is actually a result of Lyme disease.
P.S.: When left untreated, Lyme disease could even cause eye inflammation.
