Answer:
You need to go to WebMd.com and read up on Lyme's disease. If caught early, this can be successfully treated with antibiotics and then he’s considered cured. If it is caught later, it usually needs a longer period of treatment. He will not have a life of crippling pain once he’s treated. If he is having joint anguish now, he should be using some over the counter pain medication on a regular basis while being treated. I would guess his physician has already recommended this.
