Help!

I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease 3 years ago. I had some slight knee pain in the hospital, and it went downhill spiraling from there. Pain moved from knee, to ankle, to hip, and now to back (we think this is a separate issue) Got a skin biopsy (attached) in February, come April and now my feet are tingling and last week my skin was tingling and now it’s numb. The tingling is now moving up from my feet to the backs of my legs (Achilles area). Only thing that helps my pain is lidocaine patches, currently trailing gabapentin. I have had a bad intolerance for heat since I was young, but now I can’t go out on 73 degree fahrenheit days and sleep with both windows window wide open on 20 degree nights. typical symptoms are muscle twitching, pain ranging from sharp to dull, tingling at rest, unsure of numbness because i feel as if my brain disconnected from my legs, and tries not to register the pain. Worsens with movement. Also have degeneration in the tendons around my knee for seemingly zero reason. My “injury” is consistent with a sport related injury (don’t play sports). I’m honestly so convinced it is something neuropathic. Can anyone help?
