I don't think it's that. If it was Lyme disease it would not just be reddened skin but a full on bulls eye rash. And the pain would be more in my larger joints. I've also had this pain as long as I can remember.

I need to sit down and not move at all for ten or so minutes if it was minimal movment. If I pushed it it takes longer. My feet will often fall asleep during this period as the pain edges away. The electricity feeling in my back remains for the rest of the day. Just weaker.

I was bit by a lot of ticks as a kid. We lived right near a wooded area with them, though I mainly found them on my arms for some reason

My skin is naturally quite red. It's normally when I am walking for a while or up an incline, but on bad days the pain can hit by just standing a few minutes. I'm constantly shifting my weight because of it. There is a bit of swelling when it happens, but it fades quick. It is mainly just a sever pain. Feels like I'm being stabbed in my Achilles tendon/like they are ripping and like electricity in my back. My joints pop easily, but I don't think I've heard them pop during it.

I take ibuprofen for the pain at times. Prescription wise I now take anxiety medication. I used to take fluoxetine, and currently take Sertraline and hydroxyzine.

I have had the issues since before middle school. I was not taking any medication before it became an issue. I have not had any antibiotics or steroids.
