Lyme Disease Related Arthritis, Neuropathy, Pain

Lyme Disease - Dr. Kristen Cardamone, New JerseySufferers of Lyme disease can sometimes find themselves also having to deal with Lyme disease-related neuropathy, muscle pain, or arthritis, particularly if their Lyme disease was left untreated for a prolonged period of time. This particular form of Lyme arthritis often presents with swollen and stiff joints, which may be mistaken for ordinary osteoarthritis or injury, and can be present prior to an official diagnosis of Lyme disease, thereby making it sometimes difficult to diagnose.

Paying attention to symptoms and your body’s overall health is important, and reporting the symptoms to your physician as soon as possible is vital. Early detection of Lyme disease-related arthritis is key, and can be very treatable, many times with just a simple round of antibiotics, but not always if chronic. Other vague pain type symptoms such as neck pain, migraines, multi-joint pain, swelling, tingling can also be indications of Lyme disease and are often missed or misdiagnosed as related to other conditions.

Dr. Cardamone is experienced in completing a comprehensive workup for these type of complex pain syndromes to ensure that underlying infections or immune disorders are not missed as a possible source of pain. She will then work together with any additional experts to ensure that your underlying disorder is properly treated while she works to facilitate improved function and pain relief.

Schedule an appointment

Made me feel instantly like I was in the right place. They took the time to answer all my questions or point me to the person who would. Staff went out of the way to even schedule an appointment with another doctor. I am absolutely impressed!

Dr. Cardamone treats me for facet joint arthritis and spinal stenosis. She is an amazing diagnostician and her treatment allows me to lead a very active life with no drugs. I don’t know what I would do without her.

My experience with Dr. Cardamone was very good and positive. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for your treatment.

I just want to say thank you! Since I’ve been treated by you for my injury, I feel better than I ever thought I could (considering the daily pain I was experiencing), I know the treatment won’t last forever, and at times I feel it rearing its head. But for the past few months, I thought I’d like to report that I feel great! Hope to not have to see you anytime soon, but if I need help, I know where I’d go for good help. Thanks again.

I have been to many Dr’s and no one could help me, until Dr. Cardamone. I am 90 years old and can walk and sleep without pain. Thank you Dr.

Ann

I have been to several Dr’s without any help. Dr Cardamone pinpointed the area and for 3 years have been pain free and off all pain meds. If Dr. Cardamone can’t help you no one can!

I so wish I came to this office first before my past Dr. In two weeks I already feel better than the whole time seeing other Dr’s and PT’s, and bonus everyone here is so nice and they actually care! How many Dr’s can you say that about? I would recommend this office to anyone! They are just Awesome!

More than her compassion and positive attitude, Dr. Cardamone’s technical skill has been unmatched.  She was the first doctor (of the dozens that I’ve seen) to reduce my daily, continuous pain with perineural injection therapy (water and dextrose injections) and plantar fascia ozone injections. This gave me hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  Dr. Cardamone’s ability to manage pain with alternative methods is remarkable.

I will recommend Dr. Cardamone to anyone I know who needs help with pain.  She is a thorough and dedicated doctor.  She cares, she did NOT medicate me like other doctors . . . Dr. Cardamone, Thank you for giving me my life back.

I came to Dr. Cardamone after my physical therapist recommended her.  I had chronic pain and stiffness in my neck and a lump in my back that 5 other doctors could not explain.  They sent me away saying they could not help me.  As frustrated as I was, I decided to try Dr. Cardamone.  During my first visit I immediately felt comfortable with her.  She was so personable and I felt she truly cared.  After my evaluation, not only did Dr. Cardamone know what was wrong, she said she could help.  I had hope for the first time.  Dr. Cardamone never rushes through any appointment.  She assesses all physical symptoms and also asks about many other aspets of my life; my job, my exercise workouts, stress and emotional health.  She takes the whole person approach in deciding what is best.

My treatments consist of perineural and prolozone injections.  After each visit I feel immediate pain relief.  The injections also promoste healing to chronic problem areas I’ve suffered with for over 20 years.  I feel better now than I have in a long time.  Dr. Cardamone is not your typical doctor.  She treats me more like a friend then a patient.  She gives so much personal attention and does truly care about her patients.  One other thing I appreciate is she will always make accomodations for me to get treatment if I have a severe flare-up, even if her day is booked solid.

I highly recommend Dr. Cardamone to everyone.  See her first and not as a last resort as I did.  You will not be disappointed.

Tracey N.

Love her, love her, love her. After suffering from intense pain for almost a year now this lady made me feel better after just my first treatment! I’m seeing her now and I hope she will bring health back to my knee! Absolutely professional!
