Can the herxheimer reaction cause bad joint pain?
I took somewhat high doses of colloidal silver (a few tablespoons) for several days. I had some weird reactions (too gross to say) and I got bad joint pain in my legs/feet and arms/hands. The joint pain sort of moves around from day to day and has been there for 4 days. I also have IBD. Could the joint pain be the herxheimer reaction? I have only had it one other time and that’s also when I took colloidal silver for several days.

it could be this healing crisis but hard to say for sure..I do know joint and muscle pain is a common herxheimer reaction.
I know because I recently made a big diet change going form a whole food animal and plant based diet to becoming a vegan pretty much overnight due to trying to reverse diabetes and going 50-85% raw food and I broke out in intensely itchy hives which I never had before.
It lasted 3 days then wait away a few days and then returned for another day, so far gone for 3 days. My research showed this was a healing crisis reaction others got and I saw one women who went 100% raw say she had the itchy hives for 6 months.
In the course of that research I saw the aching joints was common. I also broke out in got around the same time and had not had an attack for 8 months but I did find a can of sardines at the back of my cupboard I missed and ate it and I think some canned fish can cause gout.
I suggest taking hot and cold showers for the pain and using tigar balm, as#kiss creme or a capsicum cream and taking a wait and see stance.
How to do the hot and cold I just posted here

Healing crisises are agonizing sometimes but followed by better health.
I took dose like that before and don’t recall any reaction
