A 36-year-old man suffered with severe neuropathic pain in both feet. The pain was severe at a level 10 out of 10 despite methadone 5 mg every four hours as needed. The doctors elected not to treat with antibiotic under the assumption that the tick-borne infection had resolved.

I first read about this case in the journal Neuromodulation  by Karri  and colleagues.

The pain remained severe despite trials of gabapentin, duloxetine, bupropion and narcotics. The pain improved with two surgical procedures
