Day after effects possible?
Hi uk based here. About 6 days ago i found what i believe was a tick on my arm and got it off with my fingers( i know thats bad now). It probably had been on there for at most 6-7 hours. I believe it was a seed tick as it was really small and black.
The day after i removed it i had muscle aches mainly in my legs and its persisted till now. The best way i can explain it is it feels like the day after where you do a hard leg workout and your legs are just aching and feel weaker exactly like doms.
I have no rash and the tick bite mark has cleared up but this muscle ache and fatigue has remained. I was trying to remove stuff off the ceiling and my arm started feeling like id been curling 20kg dumbbells for hours.
Seeing my local gp tommorow hopefully to get on the antibiotics. So the question is despite the NHS website stating symptoms start from 3 days, is 12-24 hours instead possible?
