Treatment for chronic Lyme disease is often focused on reducing pain and discomfort caused by symptoms. Prescription or over-the-counter pain relievers may be used to treat joint pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) and intra-articular steroids can be used to treat problems such as joint swelling.
The pin oak grows fast -- up to 3 feet a year -- and it can reach a height of 100 feet, although usually it stays under 70 feet in the wild and somewhat shorter when cultivated. Its canopy is conical or rounded and can extend as wide as the tree is tall.
Most, however, have one thing in common: they grow best with a fairly low pH. Some may be able to tolerate neutral or near-neutral conditions, while others -- like the pin oak -- grow exclusively in acidic soil. High pH in the soil around oak trees typically leads to a condition known as chlorosis.ron Chlorosis. Chlorosis occurs when a plant lacks sufficient chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis. One particular type -- known as iron chlorosis -- is often caused by iron deficiency due to high soil pH in the oak tree's soil. Chlorosis causes yellowing of the leaves.
