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.
Some types of pines grow 70 to 80 feet tall. Sometimes soaring to heights of over 50 feet, evergreen trees need plenty of space. The spread of a typical juniper (Juniperus) or arborvitae (Thuja) is 5 to 10 feet -- and these are backyard evergreens that mature at just 20 to 30 feet in height.
