I would definitely be checked for Lyme disease. I was bitten by a Lyme tick many years ago in the leg. Dr checked me on vacation...said yes definitely a lyme tick bite ...did round of antibiotics and said to have doctor give one more round when I got home...that doctor said he saw no sign of anything and would not do it. After 2 weeks got weird tremors in the leg/ tingling burning...felt bad. Another doc gave antibiotics and it all went way. A nurse friend went undiagnosed for a long time and ended up loosing her job and bedfast til they found out what was wrong with her....it was a long recovery time!
